Description
Morphology
The cave consists of a single gallery with a passage of 39 metres. The first stretch, up to 14 metres from the entrance, preserves both the ceiling and the walls perfectly smooth and polished, cavitational signs due to flow under pressure in its beginnings as a spring. The rest of the cavity shows evident signs of erosion in one stretch and another with an important clastic morphology, which have given rise to two levels and where the sections of the cave present greater width.
Speleothems
The reconstructive forms are widely developed.
History
Discovered and explored in July 1961 by members of the ERE – CEC.
Other members of the same group surveyed it in June 1967.
