Description
Morphology
The entrance is vertical, slightly inclined and not very wide. It gives way to a gallery that is initially straight but with an inclined section that curves towards the end. The cavity has been formed by a large fallen slab of rock that rests with a strong inclination on the original terrain.
Speleothems
The left wall is heavily concretioned, as is the whole terminal sector, where we find different "piquetes" (diminutive of pica) or gours. The cavity takes its name from the presence of these "piquetes". The abundant concretion has sealed and cemented the contact spaces in a very effective way.
History
The only data we know about the cavity are those given by F. Cardona (EC Gràcia), J. Cuenca and F.X. Samarra (GE Badalona) who visited it in June 2015.
