Description

Morphology

It is a matter of two small pits, separated by about 15 metres from each other, and a small cave below them with very little passage. All three are set within the same fracture.

History

The only reference we have is the data provided by Josep Castell (ERE-CEC) and his colleagues from Vilanova i la Geltrú, which appear in the second volume of the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya (1978). The exploration and survey must have been carried out around the mid-1970s.
