Description
Morphology
You enter through an inclined passage that reaches a 3.6 metre drop; at its base it forms a small chamber with a blind vault at one of its ends and the floor is covered with clastic materials. At its end you can still enter a much smaller chamber, also with a blind vault. At the bottom of the first chamber the point of maximum depth is reached at elevation -7.6.
History
Discovered and explored by members of SES – CE Puigmal around the beginning of 1957.
A cavity very rarely visited; despite this, people outside the speleological world used it as a small dump. For this reason, the Ecology Department of the Catalan Federation of Speleology devoted a clean-up day on 5 June 2011 (see the blog: Espeleobloc: post of 29-6-2011).
