Description
Morphology
The entrance, 30 by 35 centimetres, is hidden among bushes and a large block. One metre below the entrance there is a ledge. The cavity takes on a bell-shaped form with a base of 3 by 2 metres. This chamber gives rise to a narrow passage with an air current. Once cleared, it allowed entry into a descending fissure, relatively wide (1 metre), filled with blocks among which it was possible to descend about 3 metres further.
Progression
Once the narrow passage with an air current was cleared, it was possible to enter a descending fissure, relatively wide (1 metre), filled with blocks among which it was possible to descend about 3 metres further.
History
Interviewed in November 1975 by members of the SS Plantaurel, who mention it but never returned. Rediscovered by members of the SE Poble Sec – Foment Excursionista de Barcelona, during a visit to the area in 1999 (or 1991?), while exploring it and making a sketch.
