Description
Morphology
The mouth is 10 x 2 metres and gives way to a pit 10 metres deep. At the base of the pit, at its eastern end, we find a step between blocks that allows us to access a gallery that descends in small steps until we are at -27 metres deep. Before reaching the end we find a hanging gallery that closes quickly.
