Description

Morphology

It has two entrances, one of them impenetrable, while the other, square-shaped and quite wide, gives way to a 3 metre pit; this gives access to an elongated level where we find two continuations; one is a small impassable hole where 9 metres have been probed. The other is a 7 metre pit, its bottom formed by a narrow gallery.

History

Explored by the CE Cervelló in 1978.
