Description

Morphology

A narrow vertical entrance (0.5 m x 1 m) between two walls gives access to a fine pit of about ten metres.

At the bottom are two continuations: on one side, a 1 m x 1.5 m porch leads to a short slide that ends in a small, choked round chamber; on the other side, a vertical step leads to a narrow continuation cluttered with scree.

At mid-height of the pit and above the step opens a short, decorated and choked gallery.
