Descrizione

Morfologia

The cavity opens to the outside by means of two entrances. The larger one, 2.8 metres wide and 2 metres high, gives way to a gallery that progressively loses height and width until it becomes impenetrable at 17 metres from the entrance. The second entrance, smaller (0.6 m wide and 0.8 m high), located slightly below the first, has a 5 metre route until it meets the main gallery; halfway along the gallery it also communicates with the main gallery. The total route is 22 m.

Altri dettagli

Archaeological excavations have emptied the floor of sediments and it is full of small-sized blocks.
