Description
Morphology
The entrance, 1.50 x 0.70 metres, is produced by the collapse of the vault. It gives way to a gallery that on the NE side closes after a few metres. Continuing in a SW direction it leads to a small pit of about 4 metres that gives onto a very small ascending gallery. Returning again to the previous gallery, on the right-hand side another gallery opens, with a steep slope and with the floor covered in unstable blocks. We will reach a point where there are some ascending holes that end very soon. In front of us, however, there is a small hole at floor level. This passage had to be forced with blows from a sledgehammer to be able to get through, and it still remains quite narrow.
Speleothems
Once the narrow passage is passed we come to a point where the first stalactitic formations are seen and the floor is covered in mud. An ascending gallery covered by a flowstone leads to a point where, turning to the right, it gives onto a final small chamber quite full of concretions.

History
Located and partially visited in 1969 by Joan Estella (founding member of the SIS that same year). It is not until the end of 1973 that a team from the SIS – CE Terrassa returns and begins the survey, returning the following year to clear a narrow passage and complete the exploration.
