Description
Morphology
It consists of a single gallery that at 6 metres of passage bifurcates into two conduits, somewhat higher and ascending, which are filled with sediments a few metres further on. At the final part of the entrance conduit and on its right side, a chimney 7 metres high develops, narrow in its first section and giving rise to two superimposed small chambers at the upper end.
History
The first reference we have of this cave is provided by the SIEP of CE Poblet in 1978.
