    This cave has only a small room (less than 20 m2), but it may have been expanded with wood and plant material to create a larger habitable complex. At the end of the 19th century the cave was discovered by Forsyth-Major and the archaeological pieces taken with him. It is known that the shelter was inhabited during two different and distant periods of the Neolithic, the 6th millennium and the 3rd millennium.
