A short, dry passage with further sandy-floored passage and chambers on the left. The left-hand passage contains a few black marks which might be considered schematic-abstract paintings. These are detailed and sketched in El Arte Esquemático-Abstracto de Matienzo y sus alrededores (Smith Peter, 1998b) and further discussed in Muñoz Emilio et al, 1995 and Ruiz Cobo Jesús and Smith Peter et al, 2001. The developing Acanto web site (by the Federación de Asociaciones para la defensa del Patrimonio Cultural y Natural de Cantabria) has a section on Arte Rupestre esquemático-abstracto.
