Description
Morphology
Cave most probably discovered when carrer s'Antiga was cut down, rectilinear in form and initially with a gentle descent down to a rise of about 2 m. The base of the rise has some impassable passages due to the accumulation of blocks. Once this rise is passed, in the innermost part of the cavity, the gallery ascends and becomes impassable because of its narrowness.
Speleothems
In the innermost part of the cavity a small flowstone can be seen.
Hydrology
In the innermost part of the cavity a pool can be seen, just before the gallery ascends and becomes impassable because of its narrowness.
Progression
The base of the rise has some impassable passages due to the accumulation of blocks. Once this rise is passed, in the innermost part of the cavity, the gallery ascends and becomes impassable because of its narrowness.
History
Documented by Montse Mañosa and Jordi Navarro in October 2021. In November 2023 it was possible to confirm that the entrance had been walled up, making access to the interior of the cavity unviable.
