Description
Morphology
Rock shelter 12 metres deep and 31 wide, with a single chamber. The front wall is notably thick and does not reach the roof.
Hydrology
It has a particular water storage system thanks to an underground water spring. At the back of the rock shelter there is a large cistern enclosed by walls that reach the roof; there is also a basin attached to the wall of the cistern. A conduit leads the water that cannot be stored towards some estates in front of the rock shelter, which thus have a constant irrigation system.
Progression
To access the interior it is necessary to climb some steps and enter through an opening in the wall, without a door.
History
Known and used since ancient times.
