Flood Entrance Pot, Natural cave in North Yorkshire, United Kingdom
The entrance of Flood Entrance Pot leads to a deep 38-meter pitch connecting to the South-East Passage of the Gaping Gill system.
The Yorkshire Speleological Association discovered Flood Entrance Pot in 1909 after finding flies and a red worm at the bottom of a nearby shaft.
The Lancaster University Speleological Society documented the cave structure in 1980, contributing to the scientific understanding of British underground formations.
Explorers need permits and proper safety equipment to access the cave system, which reaches a depth of 146 meters and extends 248 meters in length.
The cave functions as an alternative entrance to Gaping Gill, remaining accessible during periods when the main shaft experiences flooding conditions.
