Description
Morphology
Pit 23 m deep. Once past the mouth, one enters a gallery with a steep gradient and a 3 metre drop that descends to -12 metres, the point where the entrance to a narrow 5 metre shaft opens, followed by a fissure that opens at its bottom, inside which there is a continuation in depth consisting of a 3 metre drop where the cavity remains collapsed by blocks.
History

On 21-3-2026 Juan Luis Benitez Rosado and Josep Mª Plana Roca (Bin), GIEM-CEM Montblanc, rediscovered and explored it again.
