Description

Morphology

The cavity consists of a slightly meandering gallery 23 metres in development, which follows a subvertical NE-SW joint. A small 8-metre conduit reaches this gallery. Both ends are blocked by the narrowness of the conduit.

History

The first record of which there is evidence is that provided by the SIE – CEA, which explored the cavity in 1970.
