A low entrance leads to a chamber and single fossil passage, passing under an open shaft. The cave contains a large amount of rubbish, including domestic material and ammunition, evidence that it must have been used as a hide-out for a considerable period during the Spanish Civil War. An article on the Internet about "los Emboscados" is illustrated with more Civil War remains.
Some Bronze Age pottery has also been discovered and a coin dated 1879 found. The cave was resurveyed in 1989 but this has yet to be drawn up. (There appears to be a length difference: 90m vs 150m).
