Description
Morphology
The entrance, 1 metre in diameter, leads to a 16-metre shaft, which connects with the main joint that forms the cavity (N-S). At its bottom there is a slight slope towards the central point of the concavity, with a raised ceiling. At the NE end and about 2 metres above the floor, a small 2-metre shaft opens. Towards the W., a dividing partition, open at height and through a narrow crawlway at its base, communicates with another concavity with a high ceiling and where the point of maximum drop is reached.
History
The first speleological mention is the one given by Rafael Amat i Carreras, who explored it on 7 August 1924, carrying out a small dig to facilitate passage.
