Description

Morphology

Small pit 14 m deep. It lies within a depression about 15 metres in diameter, excavated in metamorphic limestones, normally plugged by snow and with the floor slightly inclined from the N side, the southernmost sector being steep.

Hydrology

From the bottom of the pit one can reach a short gallery on a steep incline that remains choked with sediments and through which a small water input from seepage trickles.

History

The only data we have come from a visit made on 17 July 1972 by members of the ERE – CEC.
