Description

Morphology

Through the wider entrance (M-15) one enters a shaft of -5 metres. The base measures 7x4 with a steep slope and has two continuations. The first, at the end opposite the place where we descend, is a 6-metre gallery that ends obstructed. The second begins after a short step that leads into a straight gallery 22 metres long with a descending floor, where the point of maximum depth is found (-17 metres). The continuation is through a small room with a low ceiling; on one side of this and through the ceiling one reaches a gallery that rises suddenly and sits a few metres above the entrance room of the cavity. From here two galleries branch off: one open to the sky, which is none other than the entrance fissure that after a few metres leads back to M-15; the other, located at the other end, is a narrow passage that is soon cut off by a 2-metre step that is even narrower. In front of this pit and at ceiling level one can reach the continuation of the same gallery that after a crawl leads to the base of the 4-metre entrance pit of M-15. The gallery continues for about 15 metres until it is cut off by a climbable-down pit; at the base the gallery continues until it exits outside between some blocks.

History

The first mention of this cavity, located in the area known as Clots d'en Romagosa, was provided by Antonio Asensio, who explored it on 25 January 1986.
