An awkward climb up to the right of an obvious gully leads to a walking height cave entrance. The passage has been excavated of its sediments but the entrance originally had thousands of skeletal remains from owl pellets. Twelve metres in there is a calcite and mud blockage, which is quite close to a passage in Cueva de Colmenas (363). At the bottom left of the back wall is a draughting hole. Two types of pottery have been discovered and a flint point, supposed to be typical of the Azilian. The site has been excavated by Spanish archaeologists and extensive studies made of the deposits.
