Description
Morphology
Small cave with two entrances joined by a short gallery. The N entrance is large and leads to an inclined ramp. The S entrance is much smaller and connects to a small chamber. The joining of the two galleries is blocked by a collapse of boulders, below which a difficult-to-access pit begins where the cavity ends.
History
Discovered and explored by members of the ERE – CEC and of the Biblioteca Balaguer de Vilanova i la Geltrú, during the campaigns they carried out between the years 1972 and 1974.
