Description
Morphology
The descending entrance leads to a small open chamber with vegetation. On the right, a small gallery is obstructed and has small wall concretions. On the left, a gallery of considerable dimensions descends among gravel and stones until reaching a narrow squeeze. A little further on its course ends in the form of a window over the ravine.
Speleothems
In the small gallery on the right there are small wall concretions.
History
Visited in 1918 by en Joan Ferraté. Over the years, vegetation made access to the area impracticable and members of the GELL decided to reopen the path in 1999, rediscovering the cavities they had seen from the Rovellosa while carrying out prospections in that area. The cova de la Coma Closa Inferior was rediscovered in the year 2000 and the Superior in 2001.
