Description
Morphology
Through a collapse entrance, after overcoming a drop of about 5 m, one enters a wide chamber with a strongly inclined floor occupied by a large quantity of boulders and rubble. It is about 20 m in maximum length, about 15 m in width and has a maximum height of 5 m. At the lowest point of the chamber the maximum depth is reached, with no evident continuation.

Other details
Curious 12 m deep pit near the Turó de Clivelleres (Mediona).
History
Certainly known for many years by the people of Mediona.
Virella (1978) already mentions it without providing practically any data. The only more specific reference we had is a brief note and survey (Rafecas, 1995) made by members of the GEP – AE Pedraforca (Barcelona) in 1992.
At the end of September 2020, Montse Mañosa and Jordi Navarro (CEC) visited it and finished documenting it.
