Description

Morphology

From the entrance, quite hidden, two galleries start. The left one ends quickly, and the right one continues, and at 10 metres we find a narrow gallery on the left that becomes impenetrable 5 metres further on. The main gallery turns slightly to the left to end in an area full of blocks.

History

The only reports we have are those published by members of the SIS – CE Terrassa who explored and surveyed it in August 1981.
