The entrance at the top of a field with several chestnut trees leads into
a long chamber sloping down to the left. On the right there is a climb down
into a series of squeezes which choke. Children were frightened away from
this cave by the story that it contained a large snake.
A flat millstone or quern, of uncertain age, was found in the lowest part
of the main passage. A line drawing
of this is found in Ruiz Cobo Jesús and Smith Peter et al, 2001.
Ruiz Cobo Jesús and Smith Peter, 2003 has a photo of the
molino barquiforme. This is a similar size to one found in
Cueva Cofresnedo (Ruiz Cobo Jesús et al,
2008, p138).
On a visit at Easter 2000, it was suggested that the draught was coming up through the floor back into the main mass of big boulders.
