Historical

Discovered while CC and PC were searching the area for the recorded resurgence of Pouldubh; thought to be B4. An interesting erosion formation of a stream sink that consumes a significant amount of the normally small Glenaruin River. Two digging trips exposed an immature rift in the process of development; immediate prospects for further passage are poor.

So named after a unique individual, and much regarded member of the Pegasus.

Location

Some two hundred metres downstream from Blakes Bridge.

Description

A rift like opening has formed at the geological horizon between the shale overburden and virtually horizontally lain limestone bedrock.
