Description
Morphology
A triangular mouth gives way to an elongated gallery with a descending direction, split in two by a large rock wall, and at the lower part of the end there is a crawlway of square section, leading into the dome of an 8-metre pit with several ledges, connecting with a 13-metre pit of a much narrower section and a very irregular structure. The floor is the beginning of a narrow but long gallery full of obstacles and some narrow passages, until it becomes impassable at one of them.
