Descrizione
Morfologia
The mouth, of reduced dimensions (0.8 x 0.5 m), gives way to a narrow 4 metre shaft where some fitted blocks and some small bedrock are observed. At its foot and in a N direction, a short 3 metre gallery continues that leads into a small chamber where a water loss is observed on the floor. If one continues descending from the 4 metre shaft, we will descend a drop of 4 metres more, slightly narrower than the previous one; in a N direction and through a window, exploration can be continued by downclimbing a 3 metre drop that leads to a sloping room, at the bottom of which a water loss is observed; the ceiling is quite high and a clear water input is seen that possibly comes from the previously mentioned small chamber.
Quite a curious cavity structured on a N-S joint that crosses the small exterior stream. The middle zone of the cavity is crossed by a thick layer of sandy marls almost 4 metres thick, and it is in this stretch that it has developed more horizontally.
Idrologia
The pit is a small water loss point of the tributary stream of the Sot del Guix, although at present it remains a little displaced from the thalweg; the final room is located directly under the stream bed, being in rainy periods a very important water catchment point, and a visit is not advisable on days of heavy rain.
Storia
Known by the woodcutter of Sant Feliu del Racó, Mr. Josep Lleixa, he accompanied members of the SIS – CET and of the GES – CMT (Terrassa), who explored the cavity for the first time on 15 May 1982.
