Description

Morphology

Cavity typical of the area, formed by the space left by the piling up of large blocks. There are two entrances: on the NW side a small shaft gives access to the interior, where there is a small chamber, while on the SE side the opening divided by a block gives access to the same chamber. From inside, a third, quite narrow entrance can be seen in the ceiling. It has a vertical extent of 2.5 metres and a length of 13 metres.
