Description

Morphology

Cave with 22 m of passage. Over a small step one can enter a slightly descending gallery with unstable blocks between the walls and the floor. At just over 20 metres in length, the narrowness makes passage impracticable.

History

Explored during the campaign that the ERE of the AEC carried out in the Rasets area between the years 1964 and 1970.

The SIRE-UEC de Sants located it on 25 and 26 May 1969, finding the name of the cavity and the initials of the ERE of the AEC painted at the entrance. They explored and surveyed it the following month (this survey remains unpublished). It was subsequently surveyed by the ERE of the AEC on 18 July 1970.

In 1973 it was visited again by members of the SIE – CEA, who surveyed it again.

The GE Badalona, during a prospecting campaign carried out during the second half of the 2000s, named it cova R-4 de Rasets.
