RESCUERS went to the aid of a sheep stuck in a four-feet deep rift near Turbary Road, Kingsdale.
The alarm was raised by a caver.
Members of the Clapham-based Cave Rescue Organisation used tools to remove a small amount of rock to improve access and were able to release the sheep and bring it to the surface.
