A waterfall shaft of limited extent, 5 metres deep, with a wall shaped into vertical furrows and a flat earthy-detrital floor.
Description
Morphology
A waterfall shaft of limited extent in the Jurassic beds, about ten metres long and 5 deep, opened along a NE-trending fracture. The wall is shaped into regular vertical furrows, forming a deep lobation 1.5 m across. The floor is flat and earthy-detrital. The fissure continues on the SW side into a furrow that receives a small channel.
Hydrology
The small channel in the furrow on the SW side is normally dry. The shaft now acts as a swallow hole for the water collected on the small grassy area around it.
Other details
This is a shaft of deep origin, with a wall already shaped vertically by regressive erosion, later decapitated by glacial action and partly filled.
