Description

Morphology

An opening 6 m long and a little less than 1 m high leads to a 2 m drop, but the easier access is on the right, where a ramp (partially occupied by a roll of metal mesh left over from the road protection) takes us to a gallery parallel to the entrance opening. On the floor we see an accumulation of blocks resulting from the archaeological excavation. The gallery turns right at the end and narrows, and after 4 m it turns left again to end, after 5 m, in an accumulation of blocks.

History

Like fissure no. 1, it must have been known since time immemorial and also archaeologically excavated, but we have no specific reference. The first data we know are those of the exploration by members of SIE – CEA who visited it during a small campaign in the area during Easter week of 1972 and made the survey (unpublished until now).
