Description

Morphology

An elongated rock shelter about 11 metres wide by 4 deep; a large block then sits at the same entrance, hiding a small vestibule about 4 metres deep by 2 metres high.

History

Known to the CE Vallirana since very long ago. It is a small cavity of little speleological interest, which has not been much visited due to its difficult location and the exuberant vegetation that hinders access.
