Characteristics

Location

We will enter Collsuspina via Carrer Major, cross the village heading south; when we reach the last houses, we will take the track known as the camí de l'Espinoi, continue for approximately one km until we find a turn-off to the right that leads to the Homs farm, here we will leave the car, to continue on foot without a path, descend and soon find a dry-stone hut, continue descending until we find a small landing in front of a pine grove, here we will find the mouth of the pit.

Description

Morphology

It is a pit opened by desobstruction; it was opened, using machinery, by the owner of the Homs farm, from a small opening that was in the ground. The cavity consists of a 4 m ramp that leads to a small chamber, where we find a 3.5 m shaft that is a fissure that becomes impassable due to its narrowness. The total route is about 10 m.
