Description
Morphology
It is an artificial cavity, probably enlarged from some small natural conduit. The entrance leads into a kind of chamber. From this chamber, a wide conduit continues for a few metres and ends.
Speleothems
In the chamber we find columns of the same material as the rest of the cave, intended to prevent the roof from collapsing.
History
It seems that in the 18th and 19th centuries gravel was extracted from it for the construction of Mas Vallet.
