"Far Douk Cave."
"A short distance to the south-west of Douk Hole Dell is a kind of narrow pot-hole, into which a small stream runs at its eastern, or shallower end. The western extremity is considerably deeper, and ends in a small cave of engulfment, for the stream disappears by this passage, the descent to which is somewhat difficult."
