The cavity consists of a single room of about 40 square meters. with a tread surface of dusty soil, with a negative slope, repeatedly upset. In the “A. Salinas ”there are several fragments of figuline pottery with trichrome decoration with the sole indication of the cave. In the Termitan Museum there is a small collection, partly coming from
from the excavations of Carmelo Palumbo. They are clay fragments: from the trichrome Neolithic, from the Eneolithic and from the Ancient Bronze Age. During an excursion to the cave by the Archeoclub of Termini Imerese, a beautiful fragment of a keeled bowl with bell-shaped decoration was collected on the surface and is now kept in the Antiquarium of Himera.
