Description
Morphology
The entrance has a section 2 metres in diameter that gives way to a drop of 1 metre that is overcome by a ramp of stones, penetrating into a single and wide chamber with a quite remarkable lithogenic process. The first 7 metres are slightly descending, and from this point on it takes an ascending direction until it is filled up by sediments, observing at the final point evident signs of proximity to the exterior.
