Small undocumented pit in the Serrassoles area (el Port), cleared and explored by CE Dinàmics in June 2016.

Characteristics

Location

Leaving Mas de Barberans toward la Sénia on the TV-3421 road, at about 3 kilometres (shortly before the km. 12 marker) the forest track branches off to the right, climbing up the barranc de la Galera to the Casetes Velles – Refugi del Mas del Frare (halfway along, the municipality and the comarca change). The track continues a little further and before its end there is a path leading to the Masos de Caguitos and continuing eastward, as if heading to the Cova dels Prats. Well before that, on the right, there are some old terraced cultivation fields, and at their lower part lies the pit.

Description

Morphology

A clearing of the entrance leads to a scrambling passage of about 4 metres, then various branches among blocks down to the -20 level; here a small crawlway with a possible continuation blocks the way. The cave has fairly decomposed rock. No survey is available and therefore the speleometric data are only approximate.

Hydrology

The air current is evident throughout the cave. It is possibly a sinkhole for the fields above, since a small crack made by water leads directly into the cave.

Progression

A clearing of the entrance leads to a scrambling passage of about 4 metres, then various branches among blocks down to the -20 level; here a small crawlway with a possible continuation blocks the way.

History

Undocumented cave, cleared and explored by members of CE Dinàmics (Sant Carles de la Ràpita) in June 2016.
