Description
Morphology
The cavity has several entrances; the first we come across is vertical and allows us to descend between blocks down to a ledge from which two fissures lead off. One, in a S direction, is reached via a 2.5 metre drop and takes us to another, parallel fissure, about 2 metres more in depth, which leaves us at the point of maximum depth (level – 10). The main gallery of the cavity, reached just at its midpoint, can be followed towards the W via a narrow drop and continued along a sinuous fissure until reaching a small chamber where the cavity ends. On the E side the gallery is more spacious and opens to the outside through an opening that has a lower chamber beneath the main gallery. On the outside of the cliff and in a S direction, we reach the other part of the cave, made up of a single gallery about 8 metres long, quite high but much interrupted by the accumulation of large blocks.
History
Possibly known to the members of SIRE – UEC Olesa de Montserrat, but we have no record of this cavity until the explorations in the area by the SIS del CE de Terrassa in 1986, who did not survey it until 1998.
