| Description POSI | This is an ancient adit, the roof of which has started to collapse. It is cut in the contact between the conglomerates and the pillow lavas. The roof of the adit is covered with bright red and yellow iron oxides as well as cavities where large boulders use to be cemented. Because of the collapse it is hard to know how deep the adit is but at the moment it is 3.2 m wide and 1.2 m high at the highest point. Measuring with a cane the depth is at least 5 m. Aspect NW. |
| Condition | The entrance of the adit has been altered by collapse and the adit itself is filled with rubble so the original shape is not preserved. |
