Description
Morphology
The cave is 5 metres wide, 6 metres deep and has an average height of 2 metres. It is closed off by a wall, which could have constituted a rudimentary dwelling, although it may possibly have been intended as a pen, since the ceiling is not blackened.
Other details
At the entrance a luxuriant fig tree grows.
History
Known since time immemorial.
