Popped into Aveline's Hole today at about 2pm; haven't been in there before. A bar in the gate has been cut, allowing access. There is also damage to other parts of the gate where it looks like an attempt has been made to pry the panel off. There is a length of blue 8mm(?) low-quality looking non-nylon rope tired to the gate running deeper into the cave. I did not got through the gate to see where it went. There were a pair of cheap, possibly damaged 'Blackspur' 18" bolt cutters tucked into the hole in the floor opposite the gate which I photographed and decided to retrieve. There is a small amount of fresh rust on the bolt cutters where they were wet, possibly as little as a night's worth of rust though?
