Description

Morphology

It has two entrances (although one of them is impenetrable) that give access to a single shaft of just over 18 metres, which has a ledge at elevation – 6. From here the shaft widens a little and coalesces with two blind-vaulted concavities, one located halfway down the shaft and the other at the bottom of the short ramp that forms its base. A small step between the clastic materials allows the point of maximum depth to be reached.
