The description of the ground surface and the type of rock indicate that this cave was the result of a solution activity. A long room and corridor was dissolved out of the rock by the underground water. The roof of the room eventually weakened and collapsed. Indians may have used this site as a source of water and stone. The water is now unsafe to drink and the cave is dangerous.
