Morphology
Small cavity 20 metres long excavated between limestone blocks along a bedding plane. The floor is covered by fluvial sand. It has a sloping drop of -5 metres.
Hydrology
The cavity is normally covered by the water of the reservoir and is only fully accessible in times of drought, when the Camarasa reservoir is at 35% of its capacity.
Currently (December 2023) the reservoir is at 35% of its capacity and the reservoir level is 312.5 metres above sea level. The cavity is completely filled with sediments and is no longer accessible, except for the entrance.
History
Cavity explored and surveyed by the GELL on 27 March 1970.
