A 21-metre-deep pit in Les Valls d'Aguilar, explored by GIRES over several campaigns in the 90s.

Characteristics

Location

From Taús, take the track heading to the Cuberes forest refuge; about 200 metres after the third junction you will pass between two very pronounced dolines, one on each side of the path, cross the torrent gully and further on leave a turn-off to the left; 30 metres further on you will find another track to the left. At this point, on the right-hand side of the track, a kind of false flat formed by a limestone pavement and full of vegetation opens up. On the upper part of the slope facing the torrent gully, the cavity opens. Difficult to locate due to the density of the vegetation. Approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

A 2x1 metre entrance leading to a 6-metre shaft; the base is a 4x4 metre chamber with two possible continuations. To the south-west there is a 2-metre step down that leads to a crawlway with a small chamber at the end. To the north-east you must descend two dry potholes and a 2.5-metre step down that place you at the start of a descending crawlway at the end of which a new shaft opens; its base is divided into two chambers where the cavity ends.

History

Explored by GIRES over several campaigns carried out in the 90s.
