Description
Morphology
It opens at one end of a fissure; a 1.70-metre pit places us on a small ledge where someone has jammed an enormous block that blocks the way, but which could feasibly be cleared. It seems that the pit continued at a steep incline down to -8 metres.
Other details
No survey is available.
History
Long known to local people. It was explored by the SIE-CEA during the course of the campaign carried out in the Montgrí in the years 2006-2007.
