| Description POSI | Adit is at least 3m deep, the back 70 cm is only a tiny whole as fill and some collapse have obscured precisely how far the adit is cut into the hill side. There is no clear spoil heap but a thin scattering of cobble- and pebble-sized bedrock downslope, much of which has probably been moved by colluvial processes. The width of opening is about 1m, the height inside the entrance is about 80 cm down to the fill. The entrance is 10 m above the entrance of TP180 in a NW direction. |
| Condition | Partly filled with wash and covered with algae. Small pool of water, slightly collapsed but otherwise good. |
