Location: The Ceviz Plateau has been surrounded by hills to the northwest and southeast; elongating in the southwest-northeast direction and it has an altitude of 1740 m.
Geography and Environment: It was opened after cleaning as it was occluded by debris at the bottom of the inclined hall; which is below the 21 m descent following the first inclined entrance; followed by another descent. The cave continues with an inclination that doesn't require any technical equipment. The other section which follows the 30 m descent and estimated to be around 30 m has not been descended during the 1994 survey.
