To me it sounds like a hideout for a Balrog or something.
But Dragons often uses the caves that Dwarves built for a homeplace.
Read somewere that dragons kill or chase away the rightfull owners and
then makes some modifications to the place so that it suites them better
and after that they lay to sleep.

I don't know what kind of character you've got but I would EXPLORE just
to see who or what is in there.

Post what you answered and what happened, would be interesting.

Good luck.
