Description
Morphology
Small cave, south-facing, characterized by being on clay sediments like the neighbouring caves of the same origin, with an earthy and sloped floor; at the back of the chamber there is a small conduit completely blocked by sediments.
History
The first and practically the only reports about these small caves were those described by Llopis and Thomas in 1953, which due to their tiny dimensions had gone unnoticed, although cited in the various speleological inventories of Montserrat. Nevertheless, in the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya, vol 6 (2006) they are mistakenly confused with the Cova C.2a del Salnitre, which have nothing to do with them.
