Description

Morphology

The entrance gives access to a first sloping shaft of 3 metres that ends on a small ledge. There, a shaft of 23 metres develops to reach a broad floor of scree. It then gives access to a shaft of 8 metres. At its bottom, a rather narrow passage leads to a 4-metre step. At the bottom, a muddy crawl of 8 metres develops. The whole cavity is oriented in the same direction.
