Description
Morphology
Formed by a single slightly descending gallery about 12 metres long. There are small branches of very short length. The dimensions are small and there is a narrow passage.
History
Known since ancient times, although the first record dates from the year 1973, when it was explored by members of the then delegation of the SIS – CET in Olesa de Montserrat. An attempted dig led to the discovery of some initial flint knives. The subsequent excavation resulted in the description of 76 pieces, basically lithic materials.
