Characteristics

Location

Very close to Km. 4 of the road from el Perelló to Rasquera (TV-3022), to the left and below it, opposite the entrance to the les Colladetes wind farm, in a small gully and inside a doline. At the end of the 1970s the area was the object of a forest repopulation and today it is occupied by a typical Mediterranean forest.

Description

Morphology

Right in the middle of a shallow doline opens the initial shaft, 18.4 metres. Through a narrow gallery one reaches two consecutive drops of just over 5 metres and through a narrow passage one enters a shaft of 15.2 metres, wedged in the general joint of the pit, running NNW – SSE. After a short ramp there is another shaft, this one of 10.5 metres and a little further down, the last one, of 16.5 metres; the final gallery is reached after a small drop between blocks that suddenly turns 180º and in an ascending direction to end after a few metres.

Progression

At the bottom of the initial shaft, in addition to the usual clastic products, all kinds of rubbish are usually found, especially dead animals and glass.

History

The first exploration of this pit is the one carried out by members of the SES – CE Puigmal (Barcelona) on 13 September 1958, granting it an exaggerated depth of 120 metres. The surveys carried out in later years gradually adjusted the figure to the real depth: EC Sabadell (1969): -102; EC Gràcia (1980): -85 and SIE (1980): -83.5.
