Description
Morphology
You descend a small shaft 3 metres deep and between 40 and 60 centimetres wide until reaching a chamber, elongated and full of blocks, about 8 metres long. From the base of the shaft, and in a SE direction, after about 2 metres you reach a narrow passage that had to be cleared, which connects with a chamber (5 metres long by 1.40 high and 0.60 to 1.20 wide). Here the deepest point is reached: -4.80 metres.
Speleothems
The chamber is heavily decorated with entirely white formations.
