Description
Morphology
Triangular entrance at the bottom of a small depression, a gallery 9X3X2.5 metres; at the end of this, a narrow 2-metre step gives access to a chamber; from this chamber two parallel descending galleries branch off, oriented along joints trending ENE. The floor is occupied by a large quantity of clastic materials. The left-hand gallery is the one that reaches the greatest depth, -7.5 metres.
History
Cavity known since ancient times, but with a very poorly documented situation. It was visited by Jeannel and Racovitza on 8 September 1910. The ERE of the CEC visited it on 31 December 1963, carrying out the only known survey.
