Description
Morphology
It is a small meander alcove, entirely occupied by alluvium transported by the river's floods. Past the entrance, which has an approximately triangular cross-section, the alluvium forms a descending cone where it allows us to enter; the ceiling cuts across some small conduits. At the NW end we find a narrow passage with an oval cross-section, slightly ascending, which ends in a small chamber where numerous small conduits converge. It has a vertical extent of 2 metres (-0.5/+1.5).
History
The first reference to the exploration of this cavity dates from 1972 and was made by members of the SIE del CE Àliga.
