Small cavity with two pits of about ten metres, with a slightly sloping floor and no continuation.
Description
Morphology
Un small entrance (0.8 m x 0.8 m) opens onto a pit of about ten metres and 2 metres in diameter. a jagged ledge starts the next pit, which is wider and also about ten metres deep. One then arrives at a small flat ledge where an alcove opens onto the last pit, which is very short. The floor is very slightly sloping. There is no continuation.
Speleothems
The first pit is slightly decorated and, as one descends, this hole takes on a more decorated profile with more spectacular isolated speleothems (flowstone and draperies).
Progression
Extreme care should be taken with falling stones coming from the entrance crawl. At the bottom, it is possible to shelter in the last pit.
Other details
It is noted that this cavity is not very well ventilated, especially at the bottom; CO2 is only at a bearable level and it is better not to linger there too long.
