Description
Morphology
Through a large entrance mouth, 20 metres high by 2 wide and with a water depth of 13 metres, one enters a more or less straight gallery that at first widens to 5 metres and then suddenly narrows to 2 metres, gradually decreasing until it becomes impenetrable at 60 metres from the entrance.
History
Despite being a cavity known since remote times by the local people, the only data we know are those provided by members of the SIS – CE Terrassa who explored and surveyed it in August 1987.
