Description
Morphology
The rock shelter is characterised by a low-ceilinged chamber, about 0.6m in average height, and an arch at its W end that supports the structure and at the same time divides the access into two elongated openings.
Progression
At the E end of the chamber, a narrow joint allows one to go in a few metres further until the narrownesses prevent any possible progression.
History
In June 2018 Jordi Navarro and Montse Mañosa (Centre Excursionista Castellar) located and surveyed it for its cataloguing.
