Description
Morphology
The narrow entrance, partly cleared, gives access to a 3-metre drop. Its base forms a very small sloping chamber whose floor is cluttered with a rockfall butting against the wall and blocking an obvious continuation.
Progression
On 9 October 1999, the GS Aubigny began a dig during which 1 cubic metre of stones was removed. Some blocks being of good size, a hoist was necessary. The digging is in progress.
