Description
Morphology
The entrance appears as a tall, narrow joint, guarded on both sides by two trunks of a large shrub that seems as if it wanted to take over the cavity. Shortly after entering, one must pass through a narrow, crawling section that, once overcome, leads to a small chamber where the height increases considerably and reaches 7.5 metres. At the end of the cave there is another small chamber. The total length of the gallery is 12.4 metres.
Speleothems
At the end of the cave there is another small chamber where the lithogenic process is very intense.
Progression
Shortly after entering, one must pass through a narrow, crawling section that, once overcome, leads to a small chamber where the height increases considerably and reaches 7.5 metres.
History
Discovered by Mr. Domènec Bellot and explored on 29 September 1957, as can be read in an inscription that is (or was in 1973) at the entrance of the cave. Members of the SIS del CET visited and surveyed it in early March 1973. Needless to say, it is a cave that has had very few visits.
