Description

Morphology

It has two entrances separated by a narrow septum of bedrock and leads into a single gallery that in its final metres descends very slightly and has little height.

History

In 1956, Joan Bellmunt made a brief reference to the cavity in the bulletin of the Biblioteca Museu Víctor Balaguer (Vilanova i la Geltrú), calling it Forats de Sant Bori and commenting on the discovery of some (few) human remains.
