Description

Morphology

At the bottom of a funnel is found the small entrance of the pit, where the only shaft that forms the pit begins, which presents a drop of 11 metres and at its base, elongated and almost flat, brings the cavity to an end.

History

Discovered and explored by D. Schibi and F. Monsonís (ERE-CEC) on the weekend of 13 and 14-5-1970.

Rediscovered in 1976 by members of the SIE-CEA, who later made it known. (Information provided by Pere Cantons)
