Descrizione
Morfologia
Doline-like depression masked by vegetation and the remains of a wall at the bottom of the entrance ramp. In the S corner of the bottom a short gallery with a low ceiling and about 4 metres in length begins.
Storia
This small cavity, certainly known to hunters and local people, remained unpublished speleologically until a visit by members of the UME de Gavà in the late 1990s who named it cova del Metall, but it may possibly be known by another name that we do not know.
Update January 2019: Our friend Lluís Muntan points out to us that this small cavity is none other than the one explored by Montoriol and Assens (GES – CMB) in August 1952 and which they named Forat del Vèrtex, publishing a very brief note in a work on the Gavà – Castelldefels area in the journal Speleon (1956).
