Description
Morphology
The mouth, 1 x 0.9 metres, gives access to a shaft of about 6 metres, below which we will find a narrow descending passage that leads to a room of 9 x 6 metres. In its upper part the ceiling is very low, such that in some points one cannot reach the end. Its upper part ranges between 1 and 3 metres. In its NE part a gallery with a very low ceiling starts and becomes impracticable after a few metres.
Cavity seated on a N64O – S64E joint, where the entrance shaft has been excavated, which later communicates with the room that is formed in a stratum within the same conglomerate. The upper part has subsequently been covered by sedimentation.
Speleothems
In the room we can observe some concretions and small stalagmitic flows.
History
Discovered and explored in April 1964 by members of the GES of the CMB possibly with members of its delegation in Terrassa.
