Description

Morphology

A narrow cavity formed by three small shafts of 3, 4 and 3 metres, alternating with ledges and a final inclined ramp that ends impassably.

No survey is available.

Progression

Nil Hosta and Tanit Sanmartin rediscovered it in July 2026, but the entrance is so narrow that it cannot be entered.

Other details

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

History

The only data known were 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.
