Description

Morphology

Small cavity, formed by a fracture in the conglomerate. The entrance leads to a gallery about 10 metres long that ends in the highest corner, about 3 metres. Above the cavity, a ground collapse has formed a small 2-metre pit that connects through an impassable section with the ceiling of the terminal section of the gallery.

History

The only references we know of are those given by members of GES-CMT and SIS-CET, who explored it towards the end of the 1970s. It seems that some also know the cavity as Cau de la Lloba.
