Description
An about 8 m by 5 m wide collapse doline lies at an estimated walking distance of 100 m or 150 m approximately west of the first –>Nela Bilam (Cherlopalle) but at a slightly higher elevation. In spite of a biogene infilling of thorns and briars, Rosario "Saro" Ruggieri not only entered but also returned back to the surface to report a terminal breakdown choke at an estimated 15 m from the entrance but 10 vertical metres further down.
