Description
Morphology
Made up of a single shaft 30 metres deep, with a series of small ledges encountered along its descent. The floor plan is elongated and with a slight slope towards the S, where the maximum depth is reached.
Other details
For many years (we do not know at present) a series of trunks and other plant remains thrown inside by the woodcutters were found along the shaft.
History
Discovered and explored during the SES Puigmal (Barcelona) campaigns of the years 1958-1960.
