Descrizione
Morfologia
Very hidden entrance of 1.26 by 0.74 metres that gives way to a small gallery of about 3 metres that is intercepted by another larger one. From this junction, if we go to the left we have a gallery of about 3 metres of passage, 2.20 high and an average width of 0.5 metres. This gallery has a chimney that leads to the outside 4 metres higher up, but it is not accessible due to its narrowness.
Continuing along the entrance gallery, from the junction, we find a descending fissure about 3 metres long but which is impenetrable due to its narrowness. If we turn right there is a corridor 6.5 metres long and 2 high, where a small ramp leads us to a small pit of 2.2 metres. The gallery, without descending the pit, continues a few more metres without any continuation. If we descend the pit, to the right and going down a 2 metre step we find a gallery 1 metre wide and 4 high that ends after 6 metres of passage.
If we go to the left, we soon find a 2.4 metre step, here, the straight gallery turns suddenly to the right to end at the head of a 10 metre pit. At its bottom the fracture continues, if we go back, through a narrow passage we come to a small room of about 5 metres. If we continue, the width of the joint is 0.20 metres and descending a ramp we reach the end of the cavity.
The total vertical drop is 19 metres (- 16; + 3).
Altri dettagli
The authors of the record indicate that the cavity is excavated in non-carbonate metamorphic rocks of Cambro-Ordovician age. Until the specific lithology can be more precisely determined we place it in schists.
Storia
The first exploration took place on 12 April 2008 by members of the Grup d'Espeleologia de Badalona who had news of a cavity that had been used as an ossuary in this area so unfavourable to the presence of speleological phenomena.
Its publication was planned in no. 28 of the magazine CAVERNES (GEB), but finally a complete record was published in the first volume of the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya, that same year 2008.
