Descrizione

Morfologia

The mouth faces SW 190º and measures 37 metres wide by 6 metres high, with a depth of 6 metres; it is formed by scree and covered with vegetation, which reaches as far as the stream. The cavity was formed by the action of fracturing of the limestone crag. The main direction of the cavity is E-W with secondary N-S fracturing; this, together with the general decomposition of the clayey limestone, means that rockfalls have made the cavity larger.

Concrezioni

Only some small flowstone deposits could be located.
