Description
Morphology
A cave of modest dimensions and oriented to the south, characterised by having two superimposed chambers at two levels and separated by a horizontal partition, the upper one being somewhat more spacious and clean and the lower one having blocks detached from the ceiling.
History
The first and practically the only reports about these little caves were those described by Llopis and Thomas in the year 1953, which due to their scanty dimensions had gone unnoticed, although cited in the different speleological inventories of Montserrat. Despite this, in the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya, vol 6 (2006) they are erroneously confused with the Cova C.2a del Salnitre, which have nothing to do with them.
