Un narrow 5-metre entrance pit leads to a perpendicular fissure that descends to -28, then to a network of pits of 15, 10 and 2 metres ending in a boyau étroit (narrow crawlway).
Description
Morphology
The entrance pit, 5 metres, is narrow and leads to a sort of skylight. This gives access to a narrow fissure perpendicular to the entrance pit. This fissure then widens before stopping at -14 on a large ledge. The descent in this same fissure then continues to -28. There, a narrow crawlway leads to 2 possibilities. On the left, a narrow passage leads to a small pit. On the right, an ascent in a narrow fissure leads to a 15-metre pit, which ends in a chamber with 2 levels. At the higher level, a narrow meander has been dug out but with no continuation. At the lower level, a skylight leads to a 10-metre pit. The floor, unstable, has been cleared to reveal a 2-metre pit which continues as a terminal crawlway.
