Cova Marigot

A mouth 2 metres wide and 1.5 metres high gives access to a gallery occupied by very compact sediments. From its W end, a narrow gallery begins which after a few metres becomes a crawlway that leads into a room with a low ceiling. This room extends along the W side, ending in another crawlway. We pass into a new room, this one of larger dimensions and occupied, at its base, almost entirely by concretion. From the W end two routes begin; one, the main one, leads to the lower level, and the other, secondary, formed by different galleries interposed between each other, which begin in the same room that is reached through a narrow crawlway.

Once in the room, and after overcoming a short step and at the foot of another, there is a narrow passage that communicates with the descending gallery with a sandy floor 4 metres long and which ends in a 4-metre step, the bottom of which is at elevation -18.6 relative to the entrance.

To continue along the main gallery one follows a crawlway next to the previous one a metre above the floor. At the end there is a 2-metre step. To the left of its opening a window opens that leads us to a heavily concretion-covered room parallel to the main gallery. Descending the step, a gallery takes us to a room; on the left, after overcoming another step, we reach the previous concretion-covered room, and on the right, there is a 4-metre drop. This leads to a gallery running E-W. At the E end, the gallery is at first of low height and then gradually reaches an average height of 1.6 metres, although in the final stretch it decreases again, in addition to there being a large amount of mud and abundant formations.

Returning to the aforementioned drop, in front, a barrier of formations separates the gallery from one of about 14 x 11 metres, where at one of its ends a crawlway emerges that leads into a gallery running E-W and, which in the final stretch, a large room divided into two parts by columns is the end of the cavity. At one of the ends the ceiling descends to 20 centimetres from the floor, which makes continuation impracticable but it can be seen to remain closed.
