Description

Morphology

The entrance is 6 metres high by 4 wide and 2.5 metres deep from the water level. It presents a straight gallery almost 40 metres long. The ceiling gradually lowers towards the end of the gallery, where we must crouch to get over some blocks and thus enter the terminal chamber, 14 metres long by 5 wide and 5 maximum height.

Hydrology

The gallery is flooded up to the last 8 metres.

Progression

At the end of the gallery we must crouch to get over some blocks and thus enter the terminal chamber.

History

The first and only documentation on these small cavities is that provided by the Badiella brothers (SIS – CET), who explored them in the summer of 1982.
