Description

Morphology

It has two entrance mouths. The larger one (3 x 0.5 m) gives way to a 1 metre step and beside it to the E we will find a room 3 x 1.5 metres and 3 in height, from which, and through a narrow passage, we come to a room formed by a “shaft” 4 metres high. On one side of this “shaft” a gallery 3 metres long emerges in a curved shape and of little height where the cavity ends.

Through the small mouth (0.5 m in diameter) one enters a pit 4 metres deep that leads to a level from which we observe at the N end a group of galleries formed by debris; while on the O side we come up against the aforementioned “shaft”.

Other details

Cavity originated by two joints of N-S direction in which the clastic processes are quite advanced.

History

It seems that the location and first exploration was carried out by members of the Centre Excursionista de Terrassa around the year 1920.
