Description

Morphology

The small opening between rocks gives way to a narrow inclined shaft that at one and a half metres meets laterally with a cylindrical shaft 3 metres deep and 1 metre in diameter. The total depth is 4.65 metres.

History

Discovered and explored in 1967 by the GET (Talaia ?) and located by Lluís Muntan in 1972 when the paint at the entrance was still preserved. It had never been cited in any document.
