Description

Morphology

It is formed by a network of juxtaposed fissures in bayonet arrangement. It is between 0.5 and 1.5 metres wide. It presents a floor at 6 metres depth, from where a short underground gallery is accessed, where a large block fallen from the ceiling forms a kind of small chamber, which at 6 metres of passage leads to another sector of the same network. The fissure continues descending, narrow, at least down to 11 metres depth. The western end is only 5 metres from the easternmost point of the long mouth of pit no. 1. In fact, these are the same fissures, but they have not been connected. The total passage is 43 metres outside and 10 metres underground.

History

It is one of the many fissures in the sector that has never been a significant objective due to its scant development.
