A network of pits and galleries of about 400 metres, with a P4, a P17, a P15 and an active network.
Description
Morphology
A P4 and a squeeze lead to the top of the P17. At the base of the pit, a gallery about a hundred metres long is worth a few photos. Opposite, another gallery leads to the P15, which opens onto a clayey chamber.
Hydrology
In the active network, downstream, after the P6 and a gour, the stream disappears into a muddy joint.
Progression
A few metres from the base of the P17, a passage gives access to the active network, which extends for about 400 metres: upstream, a gallery that becomes increasingly narrow becomes impassable; downstream, after the P6 and a gour, the stream disappears into a muddy joint.
