Description
Morphology
The entrance, triangular in shape, has a height of 2 metres and a width at its base of 1.40 metres. Here begins the only gallery that forms the cavity, just over 10 metres long.
Speleothems
A few metres from the entrance the concretion has almost barred the gallery, leaving two narrow superimposed passages.
Progression
At the end point of the gallery, a narrow crawl leads to an earth ramp that, a little further on, the narrowness makes impassable.
History
Explored and catalogued by members of the Secció d'Espeleologia de la Biblioteca Museu Víctor Balaguer (Vilanova i la Geltrú) on 15 November 1981.
