Descrizione
Morfologia
Cave of modest dimensions and south-facing, characterised by having in the W area two superimposed chambers at two levels, the upper one being somewhat more spacious and earthy; the lower one has formations of decomposed conglomerate. In its E area there is a third chamber with a low ceiling and small dimensions.
Idrologia
According to Llopis and Thomas (1953) it seems to be an ancient spring, the remnant of a more extensive cavity that extended towards the S and that was destroyed by the retreat of the thalweg.
Altri dettagli
It presents three sedimentation phases that seem synchronous with those studied in the upper area of the coves del Salnitre.
Storia
The first and practically the only reports about these little caves were those described by Llopis and Thomas in 1953, which due to their scanty dimensions had gone unnoticed, although cited in the different speleological inventories of Montserrat. Despite this, in the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya, vol 6 (2006) they are erroneously confused with the Cova C.2a del Salnitre, with which they have nothing to do.
