Description
Morphology
The cave measures 29 metres wide by 11 metres deep. Inside there are several compartments separated by stone walls, but even so some of them are connected. The front part is also closed off by stone walls. The compartment that served as a dwelling has a flat surface excavated in the rock that would have served as a bedroom, insulated from the damp of the ground by being higher than the floor.
Other details
At present it is a store or storeroom, since agricultural machinery has been found there, such as a small tanker trailer or a plough, cages, sanitary material, etc.
History
Known and used since ancient times.
