Description

Morphology

Small horizontal cavity with a 14-metre passage. After the narrow entrance, a chamber gives way to a short gallery.

History

Known and mentioned since time immemorial, the GE Badalona explored it in 1982, producing the only known survey of the cavity; this, however, was not published until the appearance of the third volume of the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya in 2009.
