CASTERTON POT

SD 6628 8163 Length 37m Depth 30mAlt: 300m

Midway between BULL POT FARM and AYGILL are twin shakeholes, one contains a mass of scrap iron, the other is CASTERTON POT. The original entrance has now collapsed and entry now is down a hole under a corrugated sheet on the BULL POT FARM side of the shakehole. The 8m entrance pitch drops you directly into the first chamber. The way on continues via the second chamber to the 9m deep GUILLOTINE POT, where a small stream sinks. A rift leads to an aven and wet crawl which becomes too tight only a few metres short of the PRECAMBRIAN SERIES in AYGILL CAVERNS
