Access Situated in Ilston Cwm to the South of the village of Ilston near Parkmill. The large entrance can be easily seen on the Southern side of the Cwm.
Description The wide entrance chamber is soon choked to within a few inches of the roof by mud, but an excavated tunnel leads to a crawl over boulders. Beyond the crawl the passage opens up and leads for a further 50 metres. There are several choked side passages.
