Description
Morphology
It consists of a narrow gallery on a slope and slightly meandering. The floor is covered with sediments predominantly from the exterior and the clastic process is quite significant. The practicable depth is -16.5 metres, although the probing between the blocks that block the way indicates a possible greater drop.
History
It seems to have been known in Altafulla since long ago; the first reference to its exploration is the one carried out by members of the SIE del CE Àliga, who visited it a couple of times during the summer of 1973 and surveyed it on 20 January 1974.
