Approach

Following the track at the top of the slope above the White House, leads to a fork. Right leads onto the Lake Depression, whilst left goes up to a vast area of mines overlooking the Lake Depression. After passing the large open holes of the Rosario complex (surrounded by green metal fences) the track leads via a zig zag path to a small knoll. After the fourth bend there are three large hole labelled F, G, and H. (H is T304 - Clockwork Pot) The entrance lies in a depression to the right of the track to T145. Two holes on the right of the track before the entrance also drop into the cave

A short crawl inthrough the entrance leads to a chamber. Across the chamber leads to the base of the other other two entrances (see entrance).
