Description
Morphology
It has characteristics similar to the M-21, as seems quite logical due to its proximity. Structured along a joint, the main one in an E-W direction, crossed by others of more modest dimensions in a N-S direction. The maximum depth is at -5.5 metres. A two-metre drop places us in the small entrance chamber where we will see the light of entrance "B".
Progression
From this small chamber we will be able to pass between blocks to the different chambers that make up this cavity. Many unstable blocks.
Other details
The clastic processes are quite evident in both caves, affecting in this case with the obstruction of a good part of the possible archaeological deposit. Currently, the stone blocks fallen from the ceiling are already occupying a considerable space on the floor of these caves.
