Progression
A large entrance of 6x4.5 metres gives access to an aerial shaft of some 8 metres. At the base of this begins a gallery with a steep incline and a floor full of blocks, which ends at the -17 metres level. At the head we find a 10 bolt without a hanger, and at the start of the aerial section another bolt with a hanger.
History
Despite the large entrance of the pit, which is perfectly visible in the ICGC orthophoto, it has never been cited or catalogued speleologically, although at a local level it has been known for quite some time, especially by hunters. It was first explored in early 2020 by David Tomàs Millan, from Ulldecona, who cited it with the name of the person who indicated its existence to him; the last exploration was carried out in June 2020, publishing a brief note with some photos on the social network Facebook, reporting that the cavity had no continuation. The Espeleoíndex team contacted Agustí Barceló, from Ulldecona, who knew the cavity and who has already collaborated other times with Espeleoíndex; he accompanies us to the cavity in July 2020. Later David Tomàs sent us the data and survey of the cavity; the height difference of this we find somewhat exaggerated, it is possible that the measurements have been taken from the upper lip of the cavity.
