The information below has been roughly translated from the French, Spéléo-Club Dijon reference, Simonnot G, 2016 then updated from Simonnot G, 2022..
In the lower part of a meadow, between the Llaneces track and the Arredondo cemetery. The cavity opens into a small rocky step.
The vertical entrance among the blocks and hanging branches gives two meters lower on a sloping scree and a large room which intersects at the bottom a beautiful gallery. Upstream, the meandering conduit over 10 m sees its filling at the top rise to end up joining the arch channel. The latter retains patches of clay filling, showing that the cavity was completely filled in before being partly reexcavated. At the end a small hole in the hard clay is completely impenetrable (no air).
From the entrance hall, a drop of 2.5 m on a concretionary flow opens into a high and spacious downstream gallery. The large corridor (2.5 m wide and 4 m high) initially horizontal and rocky is then invaded by a beautiful concretion. The slope then steepens on a stalagmitic floor. A widening forms a small room (4 x 3 and 4 m high) with a few dry gours on the ground. A small low bottleneck and a final draw (1 x 1 m) close the cavity completely clogged with clay (-14).
Geological level: Lateral equivalents of the Molino Limestones.
History of explorations: 2013 clearing of the entrance which had been closed for decades and visit (Guy Simonnot). April 29, 2020: topography of the cavity (Guy Simonnot)
