Description
Morphology
An entrance about 5 metres long by 1.50 metres wide gives access to a shaft of just over 6 metres deep. At its base, we find a chamber of about 12X7X5 metres. From the base of the entrance shaft we find a downward slope of 22º to the end of the chamber, where the cavity ends at -11.40 metres deep, with a length of 18.65 metres.
History
Known since long ago by the people of Alberola, it served as a hiding place during the war of 1936-39.
Members of GELL-CEL, based on information provided by a villager, located and explored it during 2016.
In 2017 members of GELL-CEL and ERE-CEC returned to carry out cataloguing work.
