Description

Morphology

Large mouth (5 x 8 m.) partially flooded. The W side is the channel through which the water drains and the gallery, with a sand bottom, ends collapsed by rounded blocks. The E side, with a low ceiling and gentle slope, appears to have originated from filtrations in the stratification joint.

Hydrology

The W side is the channel through which the water drains.

History

Certainly known for a long time by fishermen and practitioners of nautical sports, but totally unpublished speleologically. We do not know if it is known by any specific name. Visited on 18 November 2015 by members of the ERE – CEC.
