Along the path that goes from the Pla d'Ardenya quarry in the direction of the Pla d'Ardenya sports area, once past the avenc T-38 we will find on the right-hand side of the path a faint trail that we must follow for about a hundred metres to the cavity, which is at the foot of a tree surrounded by the rocks removed during the digging out.

Description

Morphology

It is a fissure that descends to -7 metres; at this point it makes a 90-degree turn to the right and continues descending to 9 metres.

History

The first exploration was carried out by the SEO of the CE Vallirana.

Very probably this cavity is the Duo pit, located by the EIE of the Penya Cultural Barcelonesa in 1969, but they did not get to explore it due to the presence of unstable blocks in the entrance shaft.
