Description

Morphology

Small shaft of 8 metres at the base of which two descending passages begin, reaching 12 metres of depth in the deepest one.

History

The first explorers (GES – CMB) of the area give no reference to this cavity neighbouring those they explored in 1954. The only data we know are those given by the SIE – CEA who explored it in 1983.

In the report of the latest explorations in the area (2017-2019) carried out by members of the UEC – Tortosa; SIET (Tarragona) and Espeleo Club Castelló no reference is made to this small cavity which must be found in the same area.
