Cavity with an unobstructed entrance, formed by a succession of pits along a stream and ending in an impassable sump.
Description
Morphology
The entrance was cleared and consists of two 200-litre drums; a drop of a few metres follows, then a P5. The pits follow one after another (P6, P15, P10, P8 and P7).
Hydrology
Progression takes place along the stream. The cavity ends in an impassable sump. Traces of flooding (surcharge) are visible upstream of the last pit.
Progression
