a 38-metre cavity opening through a 0.5 m by 1.5 m entrance, with a steep meander, a large low chamber and a roof channel obstructed by calcite.
Description
Morphology
The entrance (0.5 m x 1.5 m high) opens in a small rocky bar and gives access to a short, winding, steep meander. This leads into a large low chamber about twenty metres long. It ends beneath a fill. a constriction allows one to pass above this fill and glimpse the roof channel obstructed by a small flow of calcite. Total development 38 metres.
Speleothems
The roof channel is obstructed by a small flow of calcite. The concretion has suffered enormously.
Progression
The entrance gives access to a short, winding, steep meander, which leads into a large low chamber. a constriction allows one to pass above the fill ending the chamber.
Other details
Numerous graffiti are inscribed on the walls; many are very old. a few fragments of Roman pottery are found here and there.
