Description
Morphology
The entrance of this small cavity appears divided in two, one above the other. At the entrance there follows a ramp with a 40º incline and 6 metres long. From here, through a small chaos of blocks with a 4-metre drop and 8-metre length, the deepest point of the cavity is reached.

History
The first exploration of which we have record is the one carried out on 9 June 1976 by members of the GGG (Grup Geogràfic de Gràcia, predecessor of the current ECG), who explored and surveyed the cavity. At first it was mistakenly named “Avenc de Can Roca Reiga nº 3”; this name was corrected in later catalogues to the correct name of “Can Roca Roja”.
