Cavity with an entrance protected by grilles, in a labyrinthine network of well-drilled galleries, with chambers, pits and passages.
Description
Morphology
The beginning of the network is quite labyrinthine. One progresses through galleries of modest dimensions, very well drilled. After passing low sections and small steps, one emerges into a chamber. A small rugged network develops parallel to the low passage.
Progression
The porch is closed by imposing grilles protecting Un archaeological site; nevertheless the visit of the cavity is possible by passing through the second entrance. To the left in the chamber, one notices the start of a pit (P 10) which is blind. Opposite begins the large passage, stopping at a plug of earth. A little before the P 10, higher up, the main network continues and one is soon stopped by a small pit (P 8) joining the large chamber. From this one, one can follow a wide but low gallery, leading to the entrance porch.
