In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Excavated by P. Gosling in 1980 prior to factory construction. The site consisted of a passage (L 14.5m overall, Wth 1m) extending NW (L 8m) then curving gently E (L 6.5m). A second passage (L 3m, Wth 0.7m) extended N from the middle of the first passage and terminated at the E end of a gallery (L 3.5m, Wth 1m) aligned E-W.
