Description

Morphology

A small rounded entrance gives access to a narrow passage that ends at 3.40 metres depth.

History

Around the year 1993, the cavity was located and marked by members of the ERE-CEC; currently (2012) the painted mark is still preserved.

During the cavity marking tasks being carried out by the SES del GER in collaboration with the Federació Catalana d'Espeleologia and the Parc del Garraf, one of the wardens indicated that he had seen this avenc tapat, with the painted mark 'politja'; he was accompanied on 18.03.2012 by Joan Ramia, Alex Serrano and Josep Pastor, all 3 from the SES del GER, and with a winch they removed the heavy block that was there, making the survey of this meagre cavity.
