A cave with a steeply inclined phreatic gallery, a small entrance shaft, two chambers clogged with dry clay and prehistoric potsherds.
Description
Morphology
An entrance leads to a small shaft interrupted by a ledge near the surface and opens into a fine steeply inclined phreatic gallery. At the top of the gallery, a small 2-metre drop with no continuation opens in the floor. At the very bottom, two small chambers clogged with dry clay are reached.
Hydrology
Given the various indications observed, this could be an ancient fossil spring.
Other details
General description in 2001. In addition, at the very bottom in the scree, several potsherds from prehistoric vessels were found (probably Chalcolithic).
