Descrizione
Morfologia
A half-metre-diameter entrance that gives way to a set of small passages. After the widening following the entrance crawl, one can reach a 12-metre-deep pit; at its base, the joint continues steeply in a N direction, up to a slab detached from the ceiling, and passing over it one can still progress to a small final chamber.

Altri dettagli
Note: In an attempt to explore the cavity during June 2024, it was observed that an animal has made its den inside; we think it is a Genet (Genetta genetta), since the large quantity of excrement in the middle of the entrance crawl and its characteristics seem to be from this animal; likewise, at the entrance there is an unbearable smell, so it is recommended to bring a good mask.
Storia
The first exploration took place on 31 March 1971 by members of the RES - CE Pirenaic (Barcelona), who named it Silles d'en Planes, making a brief description and publishing a very poor sketch that gives it 30 metres of depth.
We do not believe that the word "celler" can be a toponym equivalent to cave or pit.
We update the record (April 2016) by including a survey, unpublished until now, that members of the GREB de Balaguer made in May 1979 and who made a record of the cavity that has now appeared in the archive of our friend Oleguer Escolà and has been sent to us. According to it, members of the GREB de Balaguer had already explored the cavity in the same year 1971, shortly after those of the RES – CE Pirenaic.
The people of Balaguer catalogue it as Celler d'en Bixeller and give as synonyms Celler d'en Blanes, Celler d'en Planes and Avenc de Sant Tomàs (not to be confused with the nearby Forat de Sant Tomàs.
