Description

Morphology

In reality it is two caves, but everything suggests that they are in communication, even though this may be impenetrable. The main cave consists of a 20 metre gallery that begins with a width of 5 metres and narrows to the 1 metre it has at the end. The second cave is located a few metres before and has two mouths that communicate at 5 metres, and an impenetrable passage appears to connect in a few metres with another one of the neighbouring cave.

History

The only reports we have are those published by members of the SIS – CE Terrassa who explored and surveyed it in August 1981.
