Geoff:
It is, however, described as a /tunnel/ and not a cave. And the fact 
that they have to keep their heads down and the opening is hidden by 
an ivy curtain suggests a smallish entry. 

Interesting thought just crossed my mind as to whether there is a 
subterranean link to the Chamber of Secrets at this level - though I 
presume it would be closed off in some way to stop Bertie the 
Basilisk ambling off for a trip round the lake and a cup of tea with 
the giant squid.
