Description

Morphology

The mouth, on the bank of the track, gives access to a narrow shaft of about 5 metres in depth.

Progression

Increasingly, all kinds of materials from outside accumulate in it, making access difficult.

History

We have no data on the first exploration; most probably the cavity was opened with the carrying out of the works on the track. Joan Borràs already lists it in the 1975 edition of the map by the publisher Alpina.
