Description

Morphology

A wide entrance about 3 m in diameter gives way to a shaft of nearly 5 m of vertical drop. At the bottom of the shaft an inclined boulder ramp continues, which after a few metres ends at the lowest point of the cavity.

Other details

The shaft is largely occupied by the branches of a tree that grows at its base and reaches the outside.

History

Cavity known for many years but which no one had ever referred to and which had remained unpublished in the catalogues. We do not know whether at some point it has been mentioned under some other name.
