Description
Morphology
The entrance mouth, approximately 3×0.65 metres high, gives access to the main hall, which has a low ceiling and does not exceed one metre in height, but the hall has approximate dimensions of 8x15 metres with a slight slope towards the SSW. The S limit of the hall allows light to pass between blocks, but it is not possible to get through between them.
Speleothems
Towards the W of the hall there are some formations.
Progression
To access the cave it is necessary to do a small climb, as it is a few metres above the base of a small cliff. We will have to look for the continuation towards the W of the hall, where there are some formations and a small crawlway that communicates with the outside, through an impenetrable passage.
History
Known since ancient times.
