Description
Morphology
The small entrance mouth gives way to a descending gallery with a floor covered in blocks. At 10 metres of passage, the ceiling rises and the gallery gains width due to the confluence of three small lateral galleries with the main one; continuing along this, it narrows until reaching a passage of narrow section, finding on the other side a small chamber which is also reached by a short gallery parallel to the main one. In this last stretch, the floor has gained horizontality, but descends again a few metres further on, to lead out into the final part of the cave, formed by a small adjacent gallery that takes an ascending direction towards the entrance, but which remains choked by blocks within a few metres of passage.
History
