Also known as Slaughterhouse Drain. An entrance
down a short drop through boulders at the foot of the scar in the
true right bank of the gill a few metres downstream from COUNTY
POT. It was opened up before County Pot
but proved unstable and flood prone.
Below the entrance boulders a low crawl
gradually enlarges where a trench cuts down in the floor, and a
meandering passage can be followed to a 6m pitch just upstream of the
pitch in COUNTY
POT. or an oxbow on the left can be
followed to an awkward climb down immediately above the pitch.
