Description
Morphology
The one-metre-diameter mouth gives way via a 2.5-metre vertical drop to a low-roofed gallery that leads to a small chamber. At the opposite end, and after a second 4-metre drop, a descending gallery with a steep gradient begins, which places us at the point of maximum depth of the cavity, -18.5 metres.
