Small pit 14 metres deep in l'Arbolí.

Caratteristiche

Località

On the C-242 road, from Alforja to Poboleda and approximately 1.7 kilometres from the Coll d'Alforja, a private track leaves from the right-hand side and runs through the Arbolí valley in the direction of the village, passing by the houses situated all along this river.

Approximately 2 kilometres before Arbolí the track ends, and one must continue along a path that climbs the right-hand slope of the river, in the direction of the village, until reaching, after some 500 metres, the foot of a visible smooth, vertical wall, which has suffered a rockfall, the point where the cavity opens.

Approximate coordinates and without much precision.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The small entrance communicates with a room 8x2 metres, 2.5 metres above its base, where in the central part opens the entrance of a pit of -3 metres that is no more than the point of union with the lower part of the cavity, formed by a chamber 23 metres long by some 3 metres average width, separated by a debris cone at the base of the aforementioned pit.

From the SW wall emerge different points of contact with a NW-SE fissure, parallel to the previous one, although much more affected by the destabilisation and fall of large blocks, which form pits and false interior galleries.

Storia

Explored by J. Ferraté and other people from Reus before 1918 and surveyed in 1981 by the GES del CMB, it could be the cavity known in the area as els avencs de l'Escolà.
