Description

Morphology

At the bottom of a doline where a small stream sinks, through a very narrow passage opened by digging out, one enters a narrow joint that allows descending a shaft of about 15 metres (12 according to the survey). At its bottom, after further digging out, one passes into a new vertical conduit that, after a few metres, becomes very narrow.

Hydrology

History

Explored in August 1973 by members of the French-Belgian expedition to Liat. We have no news that it has been explored again. They marked it as T-4.

In the report of this expedition mention is made of more cavities, from T-5 (Trou de la Chasse) to T-15 (Trou de Dernier Jour), which we have decided not to catalogue since, besides the little information they give, practically all of them are dolines plugged by blocks and mud. Only the one marked as T-15 seems to have allowed them to explore an inclined gallery of regular dimensions, but they give no indication of its location.
