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".
