Description

Morphology

Sinkhole about 15 m deep. A succession of small drops and ledges among large blocks that leave the minimum space for its exploration. The 15 metres of depth can be reached. No survey is available.

Hydrology

Active absorption feature during periods of rain and snowmelt.

Other details

In the same sector there are three more sinkholes (numbers 1, 2 and 4 of the Pla d'Anyella) which prove impenetrable given the difficulty of clearing them. Probed to -8, -6 and -3 respectively.

History

The only data known are those provided by members of the GE Badalona for volume 3 of the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya (2009), the result of the visits they had made in 1979.
