Description

Morphology

An entrance of approximately 1x2 metres gives way to a pit of -7 metres that communicates at its bottom with a new vertical of -7 metres followed by a short ramp and a drop of -4 metres, to the upper part of an inclined pit and a small chamber(1). From this a gallery runs W, ending in a pit that drops onto a new and wider lower gallery, with vertical drops and more inclined, opening at its lowest point the entrances of the lower pit of the cavity, stepped and of -21 metres.

The base of the aforementioned small chamber(1), situated at -28 metres, forms a ledge over an elongated pit of -8 metres with an inclined base; from the upper part of this, a pit of -8 metres leads to the lower gallery described above, while from the lowest end a pit of -5 metres leads to some dry small chambers.

History

Members of SIRE–UEC (Gràcia) carried out various prospections in the area, locating some unpublished cavities, among which is this one, which was explored on 30 April 1972. The explorations of the rest of the cavities in this area were carried out from the month of May 1972.
