Description

Morphology

It is an elongated fissure of little width. At its widest point three vertical entrances open; two of them join after short drops in an ascending gallery 9 metres long, which ends in a small chamber obstructed by blocks. At the opposite end there is a low passage that communicates with a pit 8 metres deep and of narrow section, the base of which is formed by a gallery 12 metres long until it becomes impassable.

Progression

Access via the third entrance of the M-11 cavity leads to this last point after a very narrow -10 metre pit.

History

The first mention of this cavity, located in the area known as Clots d'en Romagosa, is provided by Antonio Asensio, who explored it on 11 January 1986.
