Description

Morphology

Small pit 10 m deep. Consisting of a single shaft of about 7 metres of drop, with the base formed by a ramp that descends to the point of maximum depth.

History

Located and explored by members of the ERE – CEC on the same day as the avenc 600. Given its small dimensions they lowered its designation by one whole number. This method, curious to say the least, of marking cavities, seems not to have continued.
