An emissive pit whose funnelled entrance opens in a closed depression 10 m in diameter and 1.2 m deep, a former Gallo-Roman spring sanctuary.
Description
Morphology
An emissive pit whose funnelled entrance is located in a closed depression 10 m in diameter and 1.2 m deep, but disturbed by archaeological excavations between 1989 and 1991 (a former Gallo-Roman spring sanctuary). The ASHM (1971c) mentions a borehole drilled in 1960 by the American military from the neighbouring air base and two small dolines one metre deep, corresponding to emergences once every 5 to 7 years.
Hydrology
Flow visible at the bottom on the day of observation.
Other details
Geology: Limestones with Rhynchonella decorata.
