Description

Morphology

The Aven de l’Agneau is a vertical cavity that begins with a 13-metre shaft, followed by a meandering gallery about 40 metres long. Discovered after the clearing of a very narrow entrance, the cavity has a continuation that descends to a depth of about 15 metres. The cavity appears to end at an impassable passage.

Progression

Despite several digging efforts and a careful exploration of the meander, no obvious continuation was found. No draught or notable continuation was observed during this visit.

Other details

a quick survey was made during the 1991 exploration.
