A pit cave (American terminology; British tend to use pothole or, more generally, vertical cave), often simply called a "pit" (US) or "pot" (UK), is a type of natural cave which contains one or more significant vertical shafts rather than being predominantly horizontal cave passage. Pit caves typically form in limestone as a result of long-term erosion by water. Pit caves can be open to the surface or found deep within horizontal caves.
