Description

Morphology

Small access shaft in contact with a fissure of unstable earth; on the way out, once the exploration had been carried out, a landslide probably caused the blocking of the final part of the fissure.

Speleothems

We find thin crusts on the walls.

History

Opened by digging out and explored by the ECG and the GEB on 29 January 1994.
