1235 Cueva Roja

Updated 19th February 1999

The entrance lies 50m diagonally down from the right side of the prominant "slip feature"? to the west of Cueva de Rascavieja (077). Despite the comfortable size of the entrance it would appear from lack of debris, footprints and broken bones that the visits in 1997 were the first for a long time.

Inside the entrance, the floor is covered with cave pearls and the best route is to walk along the left hand wall past calcited bones. Straight ahead a rift closes in. To the right lies many charcoal deposits and charcoal markings on the wall. A sample has been radio-carbon dated to the 11th century. The marks are described and sketched in reference DP.

The final chamber is between 1.5 and 4m high with the floor consisting of gours pools and a number of stal., including a 3m high column.
