Description

Morphology

The cavity has two entrances of reduced dimensions, of which only the more easterly one is passable. It has a small entrance pit 2.5 metres deep that gives access to the highest point of a chamber with a sloping floor and a length of about 8 metres by about 5 metres wide at the final end.

Speleothems

Both the walls and the ceiling are masked by white-coloured concretion.

Progression

The small entrance pit 2.5 metres deep gives access to the highest point of a chamber with a sloping floor.

Other details

The floor is covered by a significant clastic process.

History

The first exploration took place in November 1952 by members of the GES – CMB. For reasons of old and non-standardised toponymy it was known as Cova – avenc de Can Parés.
