Descrizione

Morfologia

It has three openings to the outside. The other gallery, roughly perpendicular to the first, structured on an E-W joint and with an inclination of about 25º to the S, has a length of 47 metres; at its E end there is a small upper floor formed at the expense of the same joint, and the W end is choked by blocks.

Idrologia

At the bottom of a small pit there is a narrow side gallery through which the waters are lost when the cavity acts as a swallow hole.

Progressione

Normally the entrance is made through the middle opening, from a drop of about 5 metres that leads to a small room that is no more than a crossing of galleries with an overlying clastic process. An inclined ramp follows that in 25 metres leads to the end, relatively flat. Shortly before there is a small pit.

Storia

First visited by Francesc Español on 21-5-1956; later by the GE Lleida, on 4-2-1962 and then by the ERE-CEC in 1966, they themselves make the survey on 5-4-1969.
