Description
Morphology
The entrance has the same width, 4 metres, as the corridor in which it lies and of which it is an extension. At 14 metres one reaches a beach, continuing with the same dimensions until the last 16 metres, where the gallery rapidly narrows, forming a crawlway that gradually tightens until it ends blocked by the sand of the beach itself.
Other details
It is in this cavity that the variation in the ground level is most pronounced, since at times the sand has come to obstruct the last 16 metres of the crawlway.
History
The only reports we have are those published by members of the SIS – CE Terrassa, who explored and surveyed it in August 1981.
On the ICGC map, at the point where this cavity is located, the name Cova Pola appears. We do not know whether it is the same cave.
