Description
Morphology
Interesting rock shelter with two entrances: a lower one located in the valley, 34 m wide, and an upper one, in the form of a 4 m shaft, 18 m long and between 3 and 5 m wide.
Hydrology
Behind the section of the right-hand part of the wall of the lower entrance there is a pool of water.
Progression
A significant collapse allows us to access the base of the shaft, with abundant vegetation.
Other details
The lower entrance is closed by a dry-stone wall, with a door on the left, in good condition except for a section of the right-hand part. Once inside the cave, at the back there is another dry-stone wall that isolates this sector from the section beneath the upper entrance.
History
Known since ancient times.
