Description

Morphology

Formed by a single 8-metre-deep shaft. At its bottom, slightly inclined, the maximum depth point is reached (-8.8 m). At the other end of the plan view, a small chamber with a blind vault can be entered.

History

We do not know who explored this small pit or when, nor the name its first explorers would have given it.

Rediscovered in 2011 by members of the GE Badalona and SIE del CEA, who detected signs of an earlier exploration. They explored and surveyed it on 5 May 2011 and decided to catalogue it under the name of the nearest toponym.
