Descrizione

Morfologia

A vertical opening of 4 metres forms a small descending chamber that goes down 2 metres among stones, finding the entrance to the first shaft, at the same level as the base of the outer mouth; this shaft has a depth of -7 metres and a rather narrow section, with the base formed by blocks and sediments, slightly inclined, where three small holes open of which only one is penetrable, communicating with a second small shaft of -3 metres. On the upper side of the base of the first shaft, there is an opening that gives way to an ascending gallery of 5 metres, which communicates with the entrance of a perpendicular shaft of -6 metres, also of narrow section. Precisely at the beginning of the gallery, a nearly vertical conduit opens in its ceiling and rises 4 metres until reaching the foot of a circular chamber 2 metres in diameter with a very high ceiling, with blocks of regular dimensions.

Concrezioni

In the circular chamber, a wall flowstone covers the entire NE wall.

Storia

Explored by EDES on 29 June 1962.

Later, between 21 and 24 September 1963 it was explored by a team made up of members of EDES, EDECA and ERE-CEC, who carried out the survey.

In 1979 GES-CMB carried out a new survey, exploring some new parallel shafts.
