Description
Morphology
It presents three artificial entrances that intersect a partially natural section. The upper pit has a depth of -15.50 metres, and the mouth is partially covered by a cement roof; in the second entrance, the 5m pit is obstructed by blocks and part of the cement covering that covered it. The third entrance, this one horizontal, gives way to the flooded gallery known as Font del Pèlac. The total drop of the cavity is 17.50 metres, with a length of 97.60 metres.
Speleothems
In the small watercourse there is a large quantity of micro Gours.
Hydrology
There is a small watercourse. The third entrance, horizontal, gives way to the flooded gallery known as Font del Pèlac. At the access through the mine, the water was retained by a wall where there was a pipe that acted as a fountain; currently this wall is demolished.
History
This cavity has been known since ancient times; in fact, all the entrances are artificial and made in order to find water. The first data we have of its exploration, carried out by a Grup Espeleològic, date from around 1961 by the S.E.S. del Puigmal. When the mountain began to be urbanised, the vertical mouths were covered with cement slabs, but a few years later they had been collapsed.
