Description

Morphology

Rock shelter 28 metres wide and 5.5 metres deep. It has several parts built with dry-stone walls. An outer wall located about 7 metres from the entrance closed off the whole shelter, with the door on the east side. Inside, a wall divides the cavity.

Hydrology

On the right-hand side there is a water tank, with the walls rendered so that the water does not seep away; it is a couple of metres deep and 3 metres in diameter.

History

Known and used since ancient times.
