A 10-metre-deep pit in Cervelló, with a 2-metre crawl and a 7-metre shaft.

Characteristics

Location

Located at the exit of Cervelló in the direction of Vallirana, on the right there is a track that is only paved at its start. This track climbs along the Torrent Fondo up to the Plana dels Bessons, toward the Les Rovires residential area. We follow the track for 2.04Km and we will find ourselves situated on a right-hand bend, from where a path leaves to the left that leads to the avenc Molins. From the bend in the track it will be necessary to descend about 60 metres and, 20 metres from the nearest cliff, on an old vineyard terrace, we will find the cavity. Approximate coordinates without much reliability.

Description

Morphology

A 2-metre crawl opened in an abandoned vineyard terrace, which gives access through the ceiling to a single shaft 7 metres deep. At the opposite end, via a ramp, the maximum drop of -10 metres is reached.

History

The cavity was located after the 1984 fire that burned the whole Torrent Fondo up to the Plana dels Bessons; however, it remained unrecorded until the year 1988, when, based on the indications of villagers, it was rediscovered and could be explored.
