Description

Morphology

A small entrance (0.7 m x 0.8 m) leads to a 2-metre step down, continued by a short hairpin gallery, followed by a sloping constriction that leads to a low chamber 5 m x 2 m x 1 m, in which a descending fissure opens.

Progression

The fissure passes under a rock bridge and continues beyond, always narrow and very draughty.
