Description
Morphology
Formed by two short galleries that could connect, but the passage is impassable. The entrance of the first cave is 0.4 x 0.3 metres, just like a rabbit hole. A short gallery of 5 metres runs perpendicular to the cliff. At the end a light coming from the other entrance can be made out. This second opening gives onto a small passage 2 metres long by 0.7 metres high and wide.
Other details
The entire cavity is excavated in a layer of reddish sandstones intercalated in the conglomerates.
History
Cave known forever and about which a legend is told of a treasure that the Carlists hid there. The only data we know are those provided by Xavier Badiella, who surveyed it in September 2001.
