A first 2-metre drop gives access to the main fissure, about 2 metres wide. After 5 metres it narrows and, after a second 4-metre drop, it bifurcates, the right-hand one reaching the maximum depth of -13 metres.

History
Explored in April 1965 by R. Viñas (ERE del CEC). The GELL explored and surveyed it in 1993. The doubt we have is that Viñas places it to the NW of the hermitage of Meià, whereas this cavity is located to the SE of the hermitage.
