Some time was spent excavating this site as it was thought it could be an alternative entrance into Cueva del Torno and an easier route to removing the human skull in that cave.
From the base of the sloping 6m entrance pitch (with a tightish top), passage heads in 2 directions. Uphill to the southwest leads to a mud choke and bear scratchings. Various bones were found in the deposits at this side of the pitch chamber in 2007.
In the opposite direction, the passage swings to the northwest with bones (1 femur was identified as bear and not human), a fine false floor and ends at a stal choke about 5m below the surface.
The cave has been filled with sediment and the nice phreatic shape can be seen in some of the photos.

The grid reference was confirmed in 2018 and the site was found with a substantial cover.
