   Little more than a large rock shelter, some 30m wide and 10m deep. The cave rises to alcoves on the northern side and there is a deeper recess with tree roots to the south. A small flint found in September 1988 perhaps indicates that the cave contains palaeolithic remains. There was a "passing" visit to the "grande" rock shelter at Easter 2022. The site was resurveyed near the end of 2022, showing a possible high level passage.
   A GPS reading of ETRS89: 30T 452723 4796757 cannot sensibly be applied to the "entrance".
