Description

Morphology

A small round entrance that had to be cleared to reach a drop of just over 6 metres. Slightly overhanging above its base, a short gallery gives access to a small chamber with a boulder ramp, among which a new descending passage opens that 7 metres further down remains unexplored due to the narrowness of the passage. The total depth is 7.4 metres.

History

The only reference we know of is the one corresponding to the exploration carried out by members of the SIE – CEA in September 1983.
