Description
Morphology
The triangular-shaped entrance of 1 x 1.10 m gives access to a descending gallery (average -38º) whose floor is covered with blocks.
Major clearing work made it possible to extend the gallery to -9 metres over a passage of 18 m.
The gallery leads to a small chamber with walls covered in mold-mich; this chamber is a cold-air trap.
The cave ends in a small impenetrable passage.
Progression
On the first visit, the cavity was obstructed by blocks 4.50 m from the entrance.
History
The cavity appears to have been discovered in July 2014 by Isaure Gratacos, Georges Jauzion, Alain Jumeau and André Pacouil (SMSP Toulouse).
The survey they produced indicates that they stopped in a chaos of stones below the first drop a few metres from the entrance.
On 8 August 2020, a team from the Interclub Mundus Subterraneus rediscovered the cave and, after carrying out major clearing work, reached the terminal chamber.
