Descrizione

Morfologia

Cavity with a single 13-metre shaft. Its base is occupied by blocks and mud. The floor forms a ramp that ends in a small pool of water (temporary) at 17 metres depth.

Concrezioni

In the upper part of the ramp there is a narrow passage that allows access to a fairly concretion-covered side chamber. Its ceiling seems close to opening to the outside.

Idrologia

This cavity seems to have acted as a swallow hole for the waters of the nearby torrent.
