Sink Cave
Access Difficult to find on flanks of Afon Twrch in a small depression taking a small stream. Liable to Severe Flooding
Description A small streamway leads for about 152 metres to a wide bedding plane which is low and wet followed by a tight duck. The stream soon disappears down narrow rifts and the passage continues as a dry sandy crawl. A small inlet enters from the right and two muddy squeezes are negotiated before the passage briefly opens up again. A small chamber can be seen beyond a too-tight squeeze.
History Unknown, then Craven Pothole Club 12/05/81 and extended 4/7/1981 - Nig Rogers and Nelson Goodwin.
Hydrology Dye tested by W.Gascoine, August 1982 - not conclusive; Nig Rogers: +ve to Ffrwd Las Tests
