Description
Morphology
It opens in a doline of 10x8 metres and 4.5 metres deep. Following the main slope and through a chaos of blocks, one reaches a small pit of 2.5 metres where the maximum depth is reached.
Again at the base of the entrance pit, through a narrow passage is the access to a pit of about 4 metres, at the bottom of which is a joint that, climbing it, places us at -1 metre from the surface.
The upper conduit on the SE side of the cavity is next to the Cau dels Ossos Sud, but they do not connect.
History
Known by the local people, especially hunters since remote times. The SIRE-UEC de Sants explored it in 1978, naming it pit no. 3 of the Pla del Vent; near it there are some small cavities cited as Avencs del Pla del Vent numbers 1, 2, 5, and 6, none of them exceeds one metre in depth, for this reason their cataloguing has been discarded.
