swallet

The opening of the pit, called a swallet, is unusually large: spanning about 330 feet in length and almost 200 feet across.

He knocked in two goals one day, four the next as his Foot Guards polo team galloped to a 4-to-3 victory over New Farm and a 6-to-� win over Swallet House.

The level of the tableland is indented with "swallet holes," the chief of which are the East Water Swallet and the Devil's Punch-Bowl.

A noteworthy feature of the Mendips, but one shared by other limestone formations, is the number of caverns and "swallet holes" with which they abound.
