Description
Morphology
A collapse entrance of 0.85 x 0.35 metres in the form of a shaft gives access to a main joint of SE-NW direction, which we reach by a ramp that ends in a small step, which connects with a gallery opened along a bedding plane. The main joint continues, meeting on the left another joint that soon becomes closed, until its progressive narrowness prevents exploration.
