An ogival porch 5-6 metres high and 2.5 metres wide, the grotte du Bénitier in Lirac shelters a "bénitier", a basin concretion fed by a drip, and ends in a lowered dead end.
Descrizione
Morfologia
The porch is vast and ogival, 5-6 metres high and 2.5 metres wide; the floor is flat but after 3 metres there is a 2-metre-high step. The corridor then narrows to 1.6 metres wide and ends 3 metres further on in a lowered dead end: 1 metre high and 0.6 metre wide. No visible continuation, no air; light penetrates almost to the very end, and the walls are greened by it…
Concrezioni
On the step sits the "bénitier", a massive concretion topped by a tiny basin fed by a drip from a stalactite in the ceiling, two metres above. Flows have formed micro-gours at the top of the concretion, and on one side its coating has been cut away, forming a kind of overflow for the basin.
