Description

Morphology

It is a N-S trending joint, with the entrance walled up. After a couple of turns to the right the fissure becomes impassable, totalling about 18 metres of passage.

History

This cave was certainly known to the local people and possibly served as a shelter, but the only speleological information we know of is that provided by members of GIEM – CE Montblanc who explored it on 12 September 1993.
