A cavity where water emerges from a small, chiselled forced conduit, with a stream traced upstream on the west side and a network of sand-filled galleries.
Description
Morphology
The water emerges from a small, chiselled forced conduit. Immediately one intersects a gallery that also exits through a sand-filled porch. Then we find a small sand-filled chamber extended by 15 m of gallery clogged with alluvium.
Hydrology
The stream is traced upstream on the west side; it is followed in a small gallery for 50 m, with a widening on the right, two water inflows 10 m further on and a final inflow 20 m after that.
Progression
It is better to leave the small chiselled forced conduit and take the other entrance located just to the left.
