A pit 8 metres deep in Sant Martí de Llémena, explored and surveyed by the GIS de Girona on 8 April 1972.

Characteristics

Location

On the GI-531 road, between kilometres 16 and 17, just in front of ca n'Abellar, a track leads off to can Peracaula; from the house we follow the path to the spring that supplies the house with water. Once at the spring we follow a descending path that in about 30 metres brings us to the pit, located on the path. Coordinates not very precise.

Description

Morphology

The small elliptical entrance gives way to a vertical drop of -5 metres, down to the upper part of a lower chamber with a sloping floor, from which a crawlway leads off.

Hydrology

The owner of can Peracaula reported that previously quite a lot of water came out of the cavity, until suddenly it stopped coming out, and in less than a week the cavity was empty. Coinciding with this phenomenon, a new spring appeared at a lower level.

History

The cavity was pointed out to them by the owner of can Peracaula. The GIS de Girona explored and surveyed it on 8 April 1972.
