Description
Morphology
A descending gallery 5x2.5 metres and 47 metres long. Before the end, on the right, there is a low passage that leads to a side chamber 9 metres in diameter with a sloping floor. In the lower part there is a crawlway through which a small amount of water flows and which leads to the end of this sector at -24 metres depth. Here there is also a small ascending shaft that gives access to an upper level with a very high ceiling and which allows the maximum depth of the cavity to be reached at -25 metres.
Hydrology
A small amount of water flows through the crawlway in the lower part.
History
Known since olden times by the people of Moror, the first exploration of which we have news was carried out in August 1958 by members of the Centre Gimnàstic Barcelonès. Later, in 1965, the first survey was carried out by members of the ERE of the CEC.
