Description
Morphology
The pit entrance, 0.8 x 0.5 metres, is usually covered with logs to prevent anyone from falling in. It gives way to a 4-metre drop, followed by a couple of ledges that place us at the lowest point of the cavity: -7.5 metres. The cavity opens in Devonian limestone and presents a morphology bare of any kind of concretion.
