Description
Morphologie
The cavity is formed by a comfortable cavern elongated from east to west, communicating with the outside through a low passage to the west and a comfortable opening to the south. There is also a further small entrance, again to the west. Trend: horizontal. Passability: easy; recommended period: all year round.
Geology: SAA Scaglia Rossa - Upper Cretaceous-Middle Eocene (Turonian-Lutetian); stratified micritic limestones; stratified. The cave develops along an east-west oriented fracture.
Spéléothèmes
No speleothems; earthy floor.
Hydrologie
The cavity is dry.
Autres détails
It is in communication, not accessible at the moment, with the Grotta dei Cinghiali UM596.
Histoire
Archaeology and palethnology: no excavations have been carried out in the cavity, but given the south-facing exposure, the nature of the ground, the comfort of the environment and the proximity of water, it is possible that a digging operation could lead to appreciable results, as have already been obtained in the nearby Grotte del Forello UM225 and di San Francesco UM52.
Protection of historical-archaeological sites: no.
