Description
Morphology
A narrow crawlway gives way to a 10X4-metre chamber, made up entirely of clastic products. Between the blocks one can pass into small galleries of very short length.
History
The first known reference to this cavity is from the exploration carried out on 5 April 1969 by the ERE of the CEC. At first they cited it as cova dels Blocs, as recorded in the original survey.
Near this cavity they also located a narrow fissure that descends about 15 metres; at this point it is blocked by the accumulation of blocks and the narrowness of the fissure itself, but a sounding indicates that it descends 15 metres further. No further data are available on this cavity, which they named Forat nº 1 d'Ardòvol.
