Description
Morphology
The entrance, 1 x 0.5 metres, gives way to a 5-metre shaft that shortly after descending forms a small ledge and further down narrows, reaching at its base a width of 0.3 metres in a W direction. After passing a narrow, awkwardly constricted section, one reaches a not very large 'chamber' where we can stand upright. The total drop is -5.5 metres.
Hydrology
Cavity excavated along a N35E-S35W joint, which acts as a small sink for the waters that descend the slope of the Morral de Llop and les Roques dels Traginers. In the shaft, clear erosion forms can be seen. The cavity is little evolved.
History
Discovered and explored at the beginning of 1983 by members of the Espeleo Club Sabadell of the UES. Curiously, three surveys of this very small cavity have been published which, although very similar, correspond to three different groups (ECS; SIS and GES-CMT).
