Description
Morphology
Through a mouth about 2 metres long and surrounded by blocks, one enters a shaft of almost 8 metres of drop that lands on a ledge made up of a series of blocks wedged in the fracture. Below them the shaft continues, descending about 9 metres more until reaching the very middle of a ramp about 10 metres long, at the lowest point of which the point of maximum penetration of the cavity is reached (elevation – 19).
History
Discovered, explored and surveyed by members of the SIRE – UEC Tortosa on 10-9-1982, assigning it the numbering MC.37. Practically forgotten, it is rediscovered by members of the EC Tortosa (one of them a member of the team of the first exploration), on 26-10-2008 and they make a new survey.
