Cova Petita d'en Rubí

It is an E-W structured joint with an evident relationship to the Cova d'en Rubí. The cavity has two entrances; the main one is the right-hand one, about 80 centimetres in diameter. The left-hand one, 0.61×1 metre, gives access to a narrow residual joint. The dimensions of the descending gallery are 0.5 metres wide by 1.2 high. At the base of the shaft, the ceiling height is 8.30 metres. A fissure on the right is about 2.3 m long with an impracticable width.

If we enter through the left-hand one we will descend a 1.30 metre drop, continue along a narrow descending gallery that becomes impracticable at 3 metres of passage and a depth of -4 metres. To the right of the drop we will see a narrow crawlway through which we can reach the other gallery and main entrance. If we enter through the main entrance, we will descend a 1.50 metre drop. We will observe on the right a dry stone wall intended to reinforce the one on the edge of the terrace where the entrances are located. On the left we will see the connecting crawlway mentioned above. We now find ourselves in a gallery 1.5 metres wide, with a 4.6 metre shaft, easily down-climbable on the left side. Located at the base of the shaft, in an E direction, below the rocks by which we descended, we find a small descending gallery that ends 4 metres further on, and gives us the maximum depth of the cavity (-8.20 m). We will advance along the gallery eastwards about 6.5 metres; at this point a large pile-up of blocks forces us to climb a 2 metre drop and then, between blocks, precariously supported, it is possible to advance about 5 metres further. This option is not advisable due to the dangerousness of the area. Before climbing the R+2, a fissure opens on the right about 2.3 m long with an impracticable width. Its importance lies in the fact that its direction coincides topographically with a small hanging conduit that emerges from the main gallery of the Cova d'en Rubí.
