Description
Morphology
Cave of habitable dimensions, with an earthy floor and on an ascending ramp. Centred in the main chamber there is a rocky crest that divides the room into various levels and characterises it. The entrance mouth is divided in two by a large fallen block, the most comfortable access being the one situated furthest south; the other access is somewhat less comfortable as it is a squeeze with blocks on the floor. Towards the back of the room there are some small cavities and impenetrable passages that bring the cavity to an end. Vertical extent: 2.5 m (-1; +1.5).
Progression
To reach the cave we must leave the path and cross the gully on the side, descending towards the base of the visible spur; in about 30 m we will reach the mouth of the cave, at the very base of the spur.
History
A cavity unrecorded in speleological catalogues.
