Description
Morphology
It consists of a gallery that forms a first chamber about 7 metres high. The ceiling lowers and the floor begins to rise slightly to penetrate into a second chamber within the same gallery, which ends filled up by sediments about 10 metres further on.
Speleothems
The first chamber is largely covered by lithogenesis. The floor is covered by a stalagmitic flow.
History
The first data about this small cavity and all the others called accessòries del Salnitre are mentioned for the first time by Llopis i Thomas in their work published in 1953, although it seems that they were not explored; specifically, the brief description they make of this one differs greatly from reality, although given the location it must be the same cavity.
