Description
Morphology
Small entrance of 0.70 x 0.40 metres which gives way to an eleven-and-a-half-metre shaft. Its base places us on a ramp 5.5 metres long that brings us to a gallery running N-S. On the north side a narrow fissure ends up making the continuation impracticable.
History
The first exploration was carried out by members of the GES-CMB in March 1957, giving it 21 metres of depth and naming it, it seems erroneously, Forat del Pla Formosa (Cordada nº 27, 1957).
