Description
Morphology
The entrance is 0.70 x 0.50 metres and gives access, between wedged blocks, to a semi-vertical and elongated shaft 14 metres deep. A second entrance, currently obstructed, also converges into this shaft. The base forms a small chamber of regular dimensions that, after a small step, leads us to the start of a small gallery where the cavity ends. The total depth is 17.50 metres.
History
Discovered and explored in 1965 by the Grup Espeleològic de Badalona.
In 1989 the SIES d'Esplugues de Llobregat, after having searched for it for two years, finally rediscovered and explored it; they attempt a dig at the bottom of the shaft, but the rains and the thaw again drag a large quantity of gravel inside.
In 1992 they remove more than 50 sacks of gravel and earth to the exterior; already sensing the possible continuation, they stop the work for lack of time and cover the entrance with slabs to prevent the water from obstructing it again.
