Description
Morphology
The entrance is inside a small doline surrounded by vegetation, it is elongated in shape (1 x 0.60 m.) and gives rise to a drop of almost 1 metre of height difference, which places us on top of a chaos of blocks in an unstable position and which must be overcome in the following metres of descent until reaching the shaft that reaches 13 metres of depth. A ramp of blocks leads to the point of maximum depth. Halfway down the shaft, from a ledge, one can still access a short gallery and an ascending section. Cavity evolved by the dissolution of some fissures of the rascler.

History
It seems that the first exploration was carried out by members of the AE Talaia de Vilanova i la Geltrú towards the end of the 1950s or early 1960s.
