Description

Morphology

The cavity has a mouth 4.5 metres wide, while the ceiling is quite low. The gallery continues at this height for 6 metres, ending with a modest but more comfortable height.

Speleothems

At this point some meagre formations of stalactites and gours are also observed.

Hydrology

The floor forms a hollow where the existence of very fine mud is observed, and a water input that in rainy periods must fill this pool.

History

Located and explored by members of the SIS del CE Terrassa on 29 August 1987, during an excursion in which they were actually looking for the cova CASE.
