Description

Morphology

A descending gallery reaches a fairly large chamber occupied by boulders of regular dimensions, among which opens an inclined shaft that connects with a lower chamber, separated from the other by a large block. From the lower chamber emerge two parallel joint fissures of 5 and 18 metres respectively.

History

Between 8 and 11 April 1966, the SAS of the CGB explored 8 pits and 3 caves in the sector of l'Auferí; we want to believe that this was one of the cavities explored.
