Description
Morphology
An entrance of 1.5x1.50 metres gives way to a descending gallery whose ceiling gradually lowers, until, after a very low flat-out passage, it becomes slightly ascending and the ceiling rises until it is possible to walk upright.
Over the years a new entrance opened at the final end of the cave (point b on the survey), by means of a narrow passage that leads to a cone of rocks that looks like a doline. The vertical drop is 7 metres (-2/+5).
History
Cavity explored in the 70's decade of the last century by the ERE of the AEC de Reus.
Relocated at the beginning of 2015 by Joan Pallisé and Ramon Sendra (†) who explored it and were able to exit through the entrance opened at the final end of the cave. We do not know when and who carried out the digging open of this second entrance.
