Description
Morphology
A small entrance hidden among the bushes that allows entry through a short drop into a descending gallery that immediately leads to a 5 m pit; a few metres before the end it meets an upper gallery that is slightly ascending, from which the connection emerges with a small side chamber almost divided in two by the lithogenic formation.

History
Discovered and explored by members of the SAS – CG Barcelonès during the campaigns they carried out in this area of the Montsant during the years 1966 and 1967.
In this area of the Auferí, the people of the SAS – CGB also explored a few more cavities, all of them of very small dimensions: Avenc del Camí; Avenc Petit; Avenc del Senglar; Avenc del Turó and Avenc Cobert, and given the very little data they provide we have chosen not to catalogue them.
