Description
General description
What appears to be rock shelter (note 1) that gives access to a maze of rift passages in gravitationally dislocated granite rocks (slidden boulders). CAVE DESCRIPTION: The cave entrance part of the cave (approximately 7 m wide and more than 2 m high) starts as a rock shelter (some 4 or 5 m deep). There are openings on the right-hand side, which are formed by small spaces between large fallen boulders. There are also numerous narrow passages between large conglomerate rocks, which, coming back to each other, extend for 3 to 6 m upwards to communicate with the surface. On 27th January 1958 contained the cave dryness, hackneyed spider webs, and Lepidoptera (Apopestes?).
