Description
Morphology
Large opening of 5 x 4 metres with a central cone of blocks covered by vegetation. To the E, a low passage gives access to a descending gallery that ends in a 1.5 metre drop, coinciding with a sudden change of direction, before closing completely.
Speleothems
Final section covered by speleothems.
Progression
To the E, a low passage gives access to a descending gallery that ends in a 1.5 metre drop, coinciding with a sudden change of direction, before closing completely.
History
The first speleological mention appears in Jordi Lloret's 1978 catalogue, and it states that the data were provided by J. Marqués (GEFOMA).
The lower gallery appears to have been opened during the 'sparry calcite' extraction works.
