1823 cave
Arredondo VN5031(2)9258(0) Altitude 398m Length 214m Depth 8m

A phreatic remnant in the woods to the east of Cueva Vallina top entrance.
An obvious entrance 50m down from the track which rises above Vallina top entrance. The entrance alcove slopes down to the right into passage 3 to 4 metres high. There are possible cat skeletons along the passage before a roof fall is met. Beyond, the passage splits: straight on leads to a small choke; to the left the passage heads back to the entrance, ending in a choked crawl. This section has evidence of previous visits: there is dated lettering gouged in the mud.
The northern side of the "main chamber" beyond the entrance comes close to the top of the ramp in the Vallina upper series.
