Description

Morphology

A small 4-metre shaft places us at a base with two extensions at its ends. At one of the ends we find a new vertical of 4 metres and of reduced dimensions; at its bottom we find a short gallery that becomes impassable within a few metres. The other end is formed by a ramp gallery with several blocks in the middle and 7 metres of length.

History

The first exploration of which there is a record was carried out by the SIE del CEA on 27 May 1973.
