It was formed within a calcareous layer in a former bed creek at the exit of the Ihsaniye Village. Although it used to be a 200 m long tunnel; as informed by the local people; it collapsed in time due to the Catalca-Saray causeway built over it. It still has an entrance like a 5x10 m hall from the village side. At present; it functions like the dumping ground of the village. A preliminary exploration was carried out by BUMAK.
