History
Discovered and explored by members of SIE – CEA on 21 November 1971. Later, members of GELERA painted the name avenc del Bloc at the entrance, which is no longer preserved today.
During the review work carried out in June 2018 by members of GE Badalona and CE Castellar del Vallès, a dumping of livestock remains was detected in this small pit of avenc del pla de les Basses that has been used as a canyet.
This circumstance led the Federació Catalana d'Espeleologia to intervene with an environmental action in March 2019 to carry out its cleaning.
