Description

Morphology

The entrance, 2.5 metres high, leads into a narrow, tall, straight gallery with a 12-metre passage, slightly ascending.

History

Explored by Montserrat Ubach i Tarrés, we think towards the end of the nineteen-sixties of the last century, since in the lists of cavities explored during the campaigns of the first stage of the Solsonès operation (1962-1965) this cavity does not appear.
