Description

Morphology

Through a small shaft 2 metres deep one reaches a small chamber with a sloping floor that immediately connects with a narrow, elongated fissure through which one can descend about 5 metres more.

History

The only data we know are those of the exploration carried out in 1970 by members of the ERE – CEC, and although only very minimally, they appeared in the first volume of the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya (1978). We can now expand the information with the survey that appeared in the ERE – CEC archive and which had remained unpublished.
