Description
Morphology
A slightly oval entrance, inclined along the bedding planes, which gives access to an 11-metre pit. This point can be considered the very middle of a broad chamber partly divided by a mass of concretion on the N side, which possibly fossilises clastic remains. Its lowest elevation is on the O side, with a pronounced slope of blocks; the continuation in depth appears to be blocked at this point by the same blocks. On climbing the ramp in a S direction, we come across several conduits. The middle one, descending through ramps of stones and between blocks, leads us to elevation -22.5, the point of maximum depth of the pit. The other two have rounded sections and are ascending.
History
As recorded in some unpublished index cards in the archive of the GES – CMB, around the year 1934, N. Llopis Lladó explored various cavities in the area and one of them has the same characteristics, naming it Avenc del Racó de Reboig (the original says Reboitx) and there is no doubt that it is the same one that members of the ERE – CEC explored on 30 May 1976.
