Small cavity with a round entrance, meandering gallery, steep forced conduit and a shaft widening toward a chamber with an impenetrable concretion-covered meander.
Description
Morphology
A small round entrance (0.6 m x 0.6 m) opens into a meandering gallery consisting of a slope then a short step. Next comes a small steep forced conduit that leads to the edge of a shaft that is narrow at the start. This pretty shaft widens gradually and ends in a small chamber where an impenetrable concretion-covered meander opens.
Speleothems
The small terminal chamber contains an impenetrable concretion-covered meander.
Hydrology
The bottom is slightly gassy (CO2).
