La grotte est formée d'un boyau large de 2 à 6 m, haut de 2 à 10 m et long de 55 m. La décoration comprend quelques figures: un renne gravé sur une fissure naturelle, une main positive brun-rouge, trois empreintes de doigts brun-rouge et un court trait brun.

Par sa précision, la représentation de renne se rapproche de celles de Sainte-Eulalie, attribuées au Magdalénien moyen III. Les mains positives, phénomène rare, pourraient être plus anciennes.

Intervention:
La grotte a été fouillée par A. Viré avant 1910 (couches protohistoriques, âges du Bronze et du Fer). Des sondages sont pratiquées en 1959 et 1960 par R. Léonard, qui remarque la présence de gravures et de traces d'ocre. L'identification des figures est confirmée en 1964 par M. Lorblanchet.
