Description
General description
The main entrance faces south, and is 2 meters high by 2.5 meters wide and descends into a spacious chamber, from which you can find a narrow passage to reach the large chamber. To the west of the chamber a low passage leads to a small entrance. From the entrance chamber the way on is down to the right which soon comes to a crossroads. To the left the passage soon ends at an undescended P8. Straight ahead there is a way on through a small gap in the jammed boulders to another passage which soon reaches a small chamber with an aven in the ceiling from which there is a passage to the next chamber which has not been full explored. Back at the crossroads the passage tp the right leads to a large chamber (20m x 10m x 6m), the floor of which is covered with boulders and fine debris. At the end of the chamber a short ascending passage reaches the second entrance. Back at the point where the passage from the crossroads enters the large chamber, in the ceiling, is the start of a nicely arched passage that loops back to aven near the crossroads.
