Description
Morphology
The entrance gives access to a small chamber of habitable dimensions. At the end of this, a new and narrow passage communicates with the next chamber, which in the form of a chimney reaches the greatest penetrable height of the cavity, +5m. A new meandriform crawlway at the base of the chimney allows one to go a few metres further until the sediments prevent progression by filling the main crawlway. Shortly before, a lateral flat-out passage allows access to a second chimney, this one of more modest dimensions and narrow.
Progression
Access to the cavity is made just beside the road.
History
Referenced by J. Virella in 1978 in Miscel.lania Penedesenca with a passage of 6m.
In 2018 Jordi Navarro and Montse Mañosa (Centre Excursionista Castellar), taking advantage of the visit for their survey, managed to clear 3 consecutive passages that allowed the known passage to be tripled up to then.
