Descrizione
Morfologia
A shelter 30 metres wide and of little height, generally around 1.5 metres, with the ceiling of conglomerate and the rest of limestone. For its description we can divide it into two parts. The East sector, the closest to the riera, is the one that goes deepest, 15 metres, on a gentle upward slope and with a low ceiling. The West sector is separated by a block and is closed by a stone wall 9 metres long, rendered on the inside and with 3 small windows. The interior space has a depth of 10 metres and the ceiling is noticeably higher than the other sector.
Concrezioni
It has some small stalactites.
Idrologia
During the flooding of the riera, the East sector is partially flooded.
Storia
Known since ancient times. As with many of the cavities in this comarca, it has been used by man to keep livestock (the East sector) and as a dwelling (West sector).
The first data we know of are those provided by members of the SIRE – UEC Sants who visited them in January 1980. In March 2017 it is visited by members of the Espeleo Club de Gràcia who update the data of the cavity.
