Description
Morphology
It is a chamber a little over 20 metres wide by a maximum height of 25 metres at its mouth. More than three quarters of its main length (25 m) are occupied by the sea and the final stretch is formed by a beach of well-rounded pebbles of good size.
Progression
On the right-hand side (in the direction of progression), which is where it is easiest to land, a gallery begins that ends in a chimney.
History
Known since remote times by fishermen. The most specific data and the survey are the result of a visit by members of the SIE – CEA in September 2009.
