Description

Morphology

After passing the entrance we find ourselves in a gallery where the height of the ceiling gradually decreases. This short entrance gallery widens at the final part to 4 metres. At this point the forms are smooth and rounded, both on the walls and on the ceiling.

Hydrology

The depth of the water gradually decreases along the gallery; at the entrance it is 0.5 metres. The floor, covered with clay and river pebbles, is completely covered by water with a variable depth.

History

We only have the references given by members of the ERE-CEC who visited it in June 1976.
