Descrizione

Morfologia

The entrance of the cavity, opened in a bank of stones, has dimensions of 0.50×0.90 metres. After a small drop of 1.40 metres we reach the only pit of the cavity, 10.60 metres deep. At the base of the pit the dimensions are 4.50×0.60 metres, while about 5.30 metres from the entrance we find a gallery with dimensions of 6.60×5.40 metres.

Storia

Explored and surveyed by the SIE del CE Àliga on 27 July 1973, who named it “Avenc del Paleta”; this survey, however, remains unpublished and was never published.

Later the SIRE-UEC de Sants, unaware of the previous exploration, surveyed it on 31 October 1976, and it came to be called “Avenc del Xalet”.
