Description
Morphology
Made up of a single passage, narrow and with a low ceiling, 9.5 metres long and slightly descending (-4 m).
History
It was probably opened when the Costes road was built or during later widenings. The first reference we have is from a visit by members of GES – CMB in February 1960. The first data are those published by J. Borràs (1974) (GES-CMB), who had explored and surveyed it in October 1974. Later (1992) it was surveyed again by members of GE Badalona.
