Morphology
The entrance is very narrow at sea level (4.20 m high by 0.50 m wide), although below it reaches 3 metres in width. It consists of a single gallery 12 metres long with a widening in the central zone and filled with sand at the far end.
History
The only references we have are those published by members of the SIS – CE Terrassa who visited it in the summer of 1981 and later, those of members of the SIRE – UEC Gràcia who visited it again in June 1997 and made the survey.
