Descrizione

Morfologia

The entrance is 3 metres high by 1.2 metres wide. Within a few metres the height decreases abruptly. The entire gallery has a descending course. Shortly before the end, a small pit places us at the point of maximum depth.

Progressione

One must advance crawling or dragging oneself over a stony floor.

Storia

The oldest data we know about this cavity come from a visit by members of the GES – CMB in September 1961. It appeared georeferenced on the maps of Editorial Alpina and it seems that at some point some archaeological intervention had been carried out.

It is not until the visit of F. Cardona and J. Cuenca in July 2007 that more specific data and a survey of the cavity were available.
