Description
Morphology
Very narrow entrance (30x40 cm) that gives access to a small chamber with a descending floor and low height, not exceeding 50 cm. Until it becomes completely impassable (elevation -2.5). Tiny cavity developed between bedding planes.
Speleothems
Abundance of stalactites and small columns.
Other details
Possible collector of some now-vanished doline. It is interesting because the dip of the strata (12º SW) can be observed perfectly, something not always very clear in Garraf.
History
Discovered and marked by SIRE – UEC without being able to specify the year. ERE – CEC surveyed it on 12 May 1974 and the paint marks were still preserved.
