A short but remarkable cavity, opened by a high porch and extended by a sloping corridor, a bell-shaped chamber and a passage with steps.
Description
Morphology
Although barely visible from the outside, the cavity begins with a fine porch 12 m high, widened by ledges where traces of possibly prehistoric or medieval modifications (notches) can be found. It continues as a very fine corridor rising to + 10 m with clear traces of erosion. After a collapsed block, one enters a fine bell-shaped chamber that continues as a very steep passage with two steps and ends at a calcite fill that would need enlarging (draft). A very fine cavity despite its lack of length.
