Description
Morphology
Through an entrance gallery full of large blocks, one descends slightly; little by little it narrows and at 15 metres of passage, through an adjacent gallery and in an ascending direction, one enters a very wide chamber but with a very low ceiling, with a series of elongated but shallow cracks located at the level of the walls. At the edge of the small access gallery to this chamber there is another conduit in an E direction, which a few metres further on meets another parallel gallery; together with a small branch at a lower level they constitute the final part of the cavity.
History
The only known data are from the exploration carried out in 1970 by members of the GIE del CE Gràcia.
