Description
It appears that the gully in which JohJoh Spelonk is found, may once have been a large chamber, the roof of which has long since collapsed. The western wall of the original chamber now forms one wall of JohJoh Spelonk, and the boulders of the collapse form the other wall of the cave.
The cave itself consists of two main chambers, each with an entrance through the boulder choke. The chambers are separated by a collapse of boulders, which leaves many routes between the chambers. The floor of the cave is 10m below the entrance, and is sandy and strewn with rocks and boulders.
The general direction of the cave passage is in line with Egyptian Cave, and the very end passage in Ronan's Well. The Ronan's Well passage is much deeper than this cave.
Northern section is small and contained animal droppings covered in fungus. A chip packet was seen in a place where no human could possibly have reached, and where no water flowed. The packet was either blown there by wind, or carried in by an animal with a taste for junk food.
