A cavity with a low entrance, continued by a ventilated forced conduit that ascends the dip and splits in two at the top of a scree slope.
Description
Morphology
The entrance is low and forces one to crawl on all fours. What follows is a fine ventilated forced conduit (blowing in October) that ascends along the dip. At the top of a scree slope, the gallery cuts a perpendicular fault and splits in two: on the right, after a constriction, the gallery pinches out; on the left, the forced conduit continues for 4 metres and is then choked by gravel.
Progression
The air current is present.
Other details
About twenty metres from the entrance, a wild boar skull is discovered.
