Description

Morphology

Through a narrow entrance one reaches an inclined gallery with a 5 metre passage. At this point it forks to the left, narrow in the first stretch then widening further on. The gallery continues following the slope, becoming wider but of short length. Then the passage is practically obstructed by a block, after which one must cross a chaos of blocks and reach the end of the cavity where it forks into two small conduits.

History

The only references we have are those given by members of the GE Pedraforca who located it on 14 April 1974 and explored and surveyed it on 29 June of the same year.
