Descrizione
Morfologia
The entrance is about 3 metres wide by 1.50 high; it leads us into a small chamber, where after 4 metres of passage we will continue through the fissure on the right for about 5 more metres along a gallery about 2.80 metres high. The continuation, quite obvious, is found in a blowing crawlway of 0.40×0.40 metres with a small step and in the shape of a “four”, very selective. It is a fissure where the clastic process is evident, with large blocks detached from the ceiling.
Progressione
The continuation, quite obvious, is found in a blowing crawlway of 0.40×0.40 metres with a small step and in the shape of a “four”, very selective. So selective that none of the four explorers (GEB; CE Castellar, 2017) were able to get through.
Storia
Discovered and explored in 1959 by members of the ERE-AEC of Vilafranca del Penedès, who give it a passage of 25 metres and a very narrow 19-metre shaft, which they say they descended with difficulty (brief note in Cordada no. 42, 1959). During the 1980s the GREV (Vilanova i la Geltrú) carried out intense prospecting in this area and visited the cave, as can be inferred from the sign painted at the entrance, but they did not publish their results. In 1982 archaeological materials were collected on the surface. The cavity was forgotten until 2017, when the usual prospectors of the G.E. Badalona and the C.E. Castellar located it, covered by vegetation, exploring and surveying the horizontal entrance section, being unable to get past the narrowness that supposedly leads to the 19-metre shaft mentioned in 1959.
