Description

Morphology

Through a 3 x 1.5 metre entrance, in clayey terrain, one enters a 5 metre shaft down to a jumble of blocks, which is the starting point of a vertical drop that reaches 20 metres of depth. Its bottom is the highest point of a cone of debris and vegetable soil. Set in a NE-SW joint, crossed by two others that are completely perpendicular. Clastic morphology dominates throughout the cavity.

Progression

The cone of debris and vegetable soil can be descended at different points, and the maximum depth can be reached with great difficulty due to the poor stability of the blocks.
