Description

Morphology

A narrow descending gallery 8 metres long leads into the upper part of an underground chamber, 7 metres above its floor, which is occupied by blocks of regular size. This is the only one of the 10 pits that has a chamber inside it; this chamber, compared with the rest of the cavities, is of regular dimensions, triangular in shape with measurements of 10x7 metres.

History

The first news we have of this group of cavities (except no. 9) is that given by members of the ERE – CEC who explored them in 1972.
