![]() ![]() To the left is 'Epiglottis Chamber', a banged squeeze which passes two flood inlets below the main chamber before reaching a slightly wider area which turns to right. Below the main ledge, an excavated crawl in a usually dry stream bed leads to easily dug peaty mud. From the entrance area other short crawls lead into the rock from the ledge. From the main chamber, a partially excavated passage heads north and chokes in gravel after a few metres. However, the easiest entrance is by two obvious routes starting at a ledge at head of gorge. It is easy to descend from above but the overhang makes a return difficult. ![]() A rock bridge overhangs an open chamber floored in rubble with a 3 m high opening above, taking a small stream in wet weather. ![]() At the head of the gorge, UCP (Cave of Old Woman of Peireag) was once the main resurgence (under extreme flood water still resurges). To south of Cnoc nan Uamh, a path contours round the hill slope above the gorge on the Allt a' Bheallaich. ![]()
