The bravest friend in our small group went down this shaft to explore a bit. He said that the tunnel went further downwards, as none of us got any torch or headlight, he didn't think it wise to further explore with his cellphone light on, leaving him only one hand free. He entered and exited with the old string (too thin to call it a rope) attached beside the shaft. None of the rest of us was fit enough to follow suit.

Its basically a very large room with a collapsed bigger exit portal nearby. This entrance is a bit scary as going down steep. It was no problem getting out again if are fit. It`s alwazys advisable to habe a proper torch and friends waiting outside. If you followed on the same altitude round the mountain for a bit there is a second tunnel. An even tighter entry hole and a large room inside. 

We did notice that the path just went on to the other side of the spur, but we're more eager to look for the military boundary stone further up the spur, so we forgot to take a look at what's on the other side of the spur.
