Description

Morphology

We find a 2.30 x 2 m depression located on a rascler. A small step of -0.80 m places us at the head of a P.10. This entrance is 0.46 x 0.80 m. The pit is quite irregular, with many edges and dimensions of 0.60 m in diameter. At the base of the pit there is a sloping floor of blocks.

Progression

Descending the pit we will reach the base of the pit. Here, with a sloping floor of blocks and in direction 190º we will be able to advance 1.80 m, where a small hole lets us see a possible continuation requiring a major dig.

History

Located and explored by members of SIEP-CE Poblet (Barcelona) in 1978.
