At the bottom the rift extends to the north and descends steeply into a further chamber, at the end of which the initials of the original explorers may be seen scratched into the rock.

A narrow shaft in this second chamber drops into a complex of small crawls and rifts, which approach close to a passage in the One-armed Bandit Series of Aquamole Pot.

[1] Jingling Pot is a karst cave formed within the Great Scar Limestone Group of the Visean Stage of the Carboniferous Period, laid down about 335 Ma.

[5]A more prosaic description was provided by John Hutton in 1784 in an Appendix to Thomas West's "A Guide to the English Lakes": "This natural curiosity is a round aperture: narrow at the top, but most probably dilating in its dimensions to a profound depth.

[6] Balderstone reports in 1890 that he had plumbed it to a depth of 141 feet (43 m), and he also describes with great accuracy Jingling Cave which he claims to have explored for 225 yards (206 m).
