Description
Morphology
Small cave with a 14 m passage. A small chamber with a stone structure leads to a joint which, at its upper part and after overcoming a R- +3 metres, continues 3 metres further.
History
The existence of a small wall at the entrance indicates ancestral knowledge. We think it was used as a lookout post by the carabineros of the old Vallcarca barracks.
There was no record of this small cave until members of the GE Badalona visited it in February 1992 and subsequently published a brief record card.
