Location

Going up the barranc d'en Jordi and almost perpendicular to the coves de les Aumidielles, but on the opposite slope and about 5 or 6 metres above the path, the pit should be found.

It must be borne in mind that this situation is from 1969 and since then the landscape has changed a great deal and in those days the access road to the caves did not exist. The authors of the record mention that on the old path there was a white marker below the pit.

Description

Morphology

Through a mouth semi-obstructed by a block, a shaft 8 metres deep opens up. At its base a descending scree slope begins, about 6 metres long, at the end of which the cavity remains completely closed.
