Località situata nel comune di Duino-Aurisina, sul Carso triestino; nei pressi, una dolina carsica in cui è stata messa in luce una successione sotto un riparo di roccia, formata dal basso verso l'alto da depositi stalagmitici, una breccia ossifera e infine depositi eolici e detriti, anch'essi ossiferi.
Nella breccia ossifera sono stati rinvenuti un molare superiore sinistro (1983) e una mandibola incompleta (1985), attribuiti a Homo erectus, insieme a resti di cervo, daino, capriolo, bisonte, rinoceronte, lupo e orso; indagini polliniche indicano per questo deposito un clima umido e temperato, alternato a periodi più freddi.
