Description
Morphology
Inside an enclosure in the form of a pen with a dry-stone wall, the entrance opens with a downward slope towards the interior, which places us in a small chamber about 4 metres wide by just over 2 metres high. On the NW side, next to the entrance ramp and made artificially, we find a small crawlway that goes in a few metres until it becomes impassable.
Other details
Small cave used as a fold in Sant Esteve de la Sarga.
In summer it is practically impossible to enter because of the millions of mosquitoes in the cave, while in winter there are none.
History
It is evident that it must have been known and used by the local people; speleologically it had never been cited or catalogued.
