Description

Morphology

Inside a portal, the cavity divides into two small entrances. The left-hand one rises quickly in the form of a ramp until reaching +4 metres. The other entrance begins in a crawl 8 metres long; shortly after its start, another crawl on the left with a stony floor places us in a small chamber; before reaching it, another crawl on the left with gours leads us to another small chamber with a sloping floor. From this small chamber a passage emerges that divides into two narrow fissures that possibly lead to the exterior. The total elevation difference is 8 metres (+4/-4).

Speleothems

Another crawl on the left with gours leads us to another small chamber with a sloping floor.
