Description
Morphology
The entrance situated in the fissure gives way to a small chamber caused by a separation of strata. Passing over some blocks, one reaches a shaft in the form of a slot that descends about 7 metres and reaches, via a descending joint covered with gravel, the maximum depth of -18 metres.
Speleothems
Climbing a one-metre step and passing a crawl, one accesses a small chamber with light concretion where a narrow section closes the continuation.
