Descrizione

Morfologia

It has two entrances, one horizontal and very narrow and another with vertical access. The latter is the most feasible although a fig tree grows inside it and its branches obstruct it to a large extent (Data 1969). Once the 5 metres of drop are easily overcome, one reaches the upper part of a chamber measuring 15 x 3 x 5 metres.

Concrezioni

A descending gallery with parietal flowstone.

Progressione

Once the 5 metres of drop are easily overcome, one reaches the upper part of a chamber measuring 15 x 3 x 5 metres. Next there is a descending gallery with parietal flowstone and the dimensions of the passage decrease considerably. After about 20 metres the floor becomes horizontal and the ceiling rises, but the gallery keeps narrowing until it becomes impenetrable.

Storia

The first report about this cavity was given by Lluís Porta in his article on the exploration of the Avenc dels Pinyerets in August 1933. He makes a brief reference to it and a short description; he also states in the text that a sketch of the cave is included but this does not appear, possibly by decision of the editor for lack of space.
