Description

Morphology

Small cavity among the blocks at the end of the displacement fissure, it reaches -6 metres of depth and has 9 metres of passage.

History

Explored in April 1965 by R. Viñas (ERE del CEC). The GELL explored and surveyed it in 1993. There is a doubt: Viñas gave it 15 metres of passage and placed it to the NW of the ermita de Meià, whereas this cavity is found to the SE of the ermita.
