Description
Morphology
The cavity has three entrances. The one closest to the quarry is a vertical entrance, by means of a 6.50-metre pit; a rock bridge separates it from another entrance located 1 metre away and blocked by large blocks, probably to prevent animals from falling in at the time. Through the third entrance it is necessary to overcome a vertical step of 1 metre, followed by a further step of 1.70 metres, followed by a short sloping gallery that leads us to a room of 15X10 metres, the floor of which is gently sloping in a NE direction, while in a SW direction it is steeply sloping, where a ramp of blocks takes us along a short gallery to a final small room of 9X4 metres with a triangular shape, at the end of which there is a small pit blocked by blocks. The approximate vertical drop is 19 metres and the length is also approximately some 90 metres.
Progression
These data are the result of having made a survey from entrance to bottom and in the NE gallery, carried out in January 2016; it would be interesting to carry out a new survey.
Other details
Unfortunately, both outside and inside the cavity we find a large quantity of drinks cans (January 2016).
Update: Montse Mañosa informs us that, together with Jordi Navarro, both from the Centre Excursionista de Castellar del Vallès, on 2 April 2022 they proceeded to remove, both from the interior and the exterior of the cavity, all the rubbish that was there. We hope the current state lasts.
History
Known since ancient times in the area, archaeological prospections have been carried out there; the only article on the cavity and known survey is the one carried out by the SIE del CEA on 29 April 1973. It is also known as avenc del Manyer.
