Description
Morphology
An entrance in the form of a cave 1.7 x 1.2 leads to an 11-metre pit. The first metres of the pit are a steep ramp. This pit drops into a wide chamber. To the south-east of the chamber, a ramp full of stones, which becomes narrow as it descends, places us in a smaller chamber with the floor completely full of stones. At the southern end it is still possible to continue for a couple of metres.
Speleothems
The wide chamber into which the pit drops has a good deal of concretion.
History
First exploration carried out by Emili Sabaté SIRE-Sants in 1963; it had already been cited in 1910 by Jeannel.
