Description

Morphology

An elongated meander-shaped entrance, about 3m x 1m; the entrance is hidden by a yew tree and is not visible until you are right above it. It is a 5m pit with no continuation.

Progression

Once the first 5m pit has been descended, the cave does not continue. No survey is available.

History

Located on 1 December 2019 by Jordi Perera and Josep Guarro, during a prospecting trip, but as they had no rope or equipment it remained pending a return visit. Finally, on 22 May 2022, Joan Carles Juderias and Josep Guarro returned, and they confirmed that once the first 5m pit has been descended, the cave does not continue.
