Description
Morphology
At the foot of the small cliff there are 10 entrances along the 25 metres occupied by the cavity. The first 5 are tiny concavities of a few decimetres that do not penetrate into the main system. The remaining 5 entrances give access to a small system of reticulate galleries.
It is an ancient multiple spring, completely fossilised and excavated in the Eocene limestone sandstones. The upper part of the rock shelter forming the porch is made up of also Eocene conglomerates.
History
The oldest speleological reference we have for this cavity is the explorations carried out by GES - CMB in 1964 and 1965.
It seems that some archaeological work has yielded materials from the Upper Neolithic.
