Description
Morphology
A narrow horizontal and elongated opening and then a small pit. One reaches the start of two opposing galleries; one of them ascends and after a narrow passage reaches a room of 15 x 5 m where this area of the cavity ends. The other gallery descends and ends in a circular chamber, connected through its ceiling with an upper room.
History
Discovered and explored by members of the SAS – CG Barcelonès during the campaigns they carried out in this area of the Montsant during the years 1966 and 1967.
In this Auferí area, the people of the SAS – CGB also explored a few more cavities, all of them of very small dimensions: Avenc del Camí; Avenc Petit; Avenc del Senglar; Avenc del Turó and Avenc Cobert, and given the very little data they provide we have chosen not to catalogue them.
