A cave entrance with fully ignored shape, dimensions or peculiar characteristics gives access to what gave the impression of representing a pothole or blind rift pot split into two pitches (note 1) which descends an estimated 40 m to a mud floor and lies somewhere in the woods on the south-eastern flank of Lum Manar.
