Descrizione

Morfologia

Entrance of 4.5 x 2 metres. The pit is formed by a single shaft of 62 metres. At the base of the shaft there is a spacious chamber with a strongly inclined floor, which leads, after a small narrow meander, to the depth of 69.3 metres. At the final part of the pit, the wall situated furthest N appears to be in contact with the slates.

Progressione

The first section of the single shaft that forms the pit is a shelter and nesting place for the jackdaws, which accompany you during the first metres of the descent of this 62 metre shaft, which must be fractioned until reaching its base.

Storia

Explored by members of GIEG – AE de Granollers during the 1990 campaign, where they found evidence of having been explored previously, but the authorship of this first exploration is unknown.
