Description

Morphology

Through a small opening one enters a narrow vertical conduit that descends about 5.6 metres in depth.

History

The oldest reference is the one attested by a photo by Lluís Muntan in which the name, the depth and the exploring group (Espeleo Club Sabadell) can be seen painted at the mouth, from which we deduce that it dates from the early 1970s. Once this reference had been erased, during the 1990s, members of the ERE – CEC cleared various pits in the area and assigned this one the SM -4.
