Description
Morphology
The entrance is small (1X0.50 metres) and leads us to a small chamber full of blocks. On one side, a small ramp leads us to a shaft 15 metres deep; on the other side, the chamber descends along a gallery until reaching a small chamber that is blocked by debris.
History
Explored by the ERE of the CEC in 1970. Rediscovered in 2017 by Joan Pallisé and Ramon Sendra.
Toponymy: The name is probably not the correct one, since the place where the cavity is located is (according to the ICGC) the mas de les Casanoves, and not de les Cases Noves.
