A large shaft, rather like Rowten without the stream, labelled SCD2013.
A 45m pitch has a ledge 20m down and lands on a rock slope. A steep boulder slope leads to a broken 15m pitch and a final 20m pitch to a sandy floored chamber where a 10cm wide fissure emits a cold draught.

The information below has been roughly translated from the French, Spéléo-Club de Dijon reference, Degouve de Nuncques Patrick et Simonnot Guy, 1989 (in Sous le Plancher, no 4, 1989). The French reference number for this site is SCD2013.

In the side of a small valley to the north of Arredondo, on a sloping moor, fifty meters above a hut. Easy access by road then along the track of Llaneces. At the end, taking a path along the hillside for ten minutes towards the hut of Rotura reaches the site. Explored in October 1988.

A pretty p48 is followed by shorter verticals (p20; p5) leading down to -73 in a small choked chamber. A narrow fissure emits a violent draught. This hole could be the source of Fuentes (No 2018). (Site 1756).
