Description
Morphology
Rock shelter 14 metres wide and 5.5 metres deep. A dry-stone wall completely closed the cavern; the front part has been lost, and the north and south side walls remain standing.
The whole perimeter of the sides is well closed with blocks that leave no small hole through which animals could get in. The floor is flat, with a great thickness of manure, except for the right-hand part, where there is a large sloping block.
Progression
To reach the cave it is necessary to enter the corral, which is enclosed.
History
Known and used since ancient times.
