Description

Morphology

Collapse doline of approximately 10 m x 8 m for 4 to 5 metres of depth. Numerous trees have collapsed into the doline and mask the morphology.

Progression

It can be descended on the west side. To the north, a small hole in the earth gives access to a meander. An R3 leads to -10 then the meander continues to -12 where it pinches. A dig would be worth attempting.

Other details

This is a cavity that formed in 2018 and is subject to sudden transformations. The description reflects the state of 2020.
