Description

Morphology

Large entrance of 7.5 by 4.5 metres in the emerged part, through which one enters a single gallery 30.8 metres long. Shortly before reaching the final stretch, a large block splits the gallery in two, reaching the end point where a short sand beach is found. It is at this point that the gallery plan reaches 15 metres in width and a height of 6 metres in the central part.

History

The first, and only, data we have are those provided by members of SIRE – UEC who explored and surveyed it in November 1999.
