Description
Morphology
The entrance, of regular dimensions, gives way to a large chamber from which a smaller gallery emerges, making a couple of bends until it loses height and becomes a crawlway.
Progression
Shortly before entering the last, lower section of the cave, remains of a small wall built as a barrier can be seen.
History
The first exploration of which there is a record was carried out by the GELL in 2005, although it seems that this cave had been used by the local people and probably also by the maquis during the post-war period.
