Description
Morphology
The entrance, elongated, 5 x 0.5 metres and surrounded by ivy and ferns. On the E side the 3-metre small shaft can be descended by making use of the roots of a holm oak; the bottom widens slightly reaching almost one metre in width. Continuing on the flat, in a W direction, one reaches a window at ground level that, uncomfortably, leads by means of a one-metre drop to a small elongated and quite high chamber, interrupted in its middle by two large embedded blocks.
