Description

Morphology

The cave has two entrances, one hanging at 4 metres, narrow and elongated, which connects with the main one shortly after entering. This mouth is 6.80 metres high (of which 3.60 metres are submerged) and 3.20 metres wide.

Hydrology

At 9 metres from the entrance the gallery is broken by a sumping passage 1.40 metres long; from this air bell there remain 10 more metres of completely flooded gallery.

History

The first reports we have are those published by members of the SIS – CE Terrassa who explored it in August 1981.

In September 1997 it was visited by members of the SIRE – UEC Gràcia, while making a survey of what we catalogue as number 4, which is the one presenting the greatest interest.
