Description

Morphology

The 2X0.60 metre entrance, half covered by vegetation, gives way to a single shaft -12 metres deep with a floor of 4X6 metres. The base connects with a gallery oriented SW-NE which quickly narrows until it becomes impenetrable at 22 metres of passage. A second conduit of reduced dimensions, also at the base of the shaft, and a third in front of its entrance, make up the rest of the cavity.

History

The first exploration was carried out by the SAS of the CGB in 1969.
