A 25 m deep pit in El Perelló, Baix Ebre, at the head of the barranc de Coma Novell, near the Parc Eòlic de les Colladetes.

Characteristics

Location

In the area of the Parc Eòlic de les Colladetes, at the head of the barranc de Coma Novell.

At km 4.5 of the TV-3022 road, from El Perelló to Rasquera, a track leaves to the right and enters the wind farm. You must always follow it in a NE direction, alongside the wind turbines. When the track crosses the head of the barranc de Coma Novell, about 50 metres S of one of the “molíns”, the pit is found.

A post with a metal plaque beside the entrance makes it easier to locate.

Description

Morphology

Formed by a single shaft, elongated and with a drop of 23.2 metres, which presents a small lateral concavity halfway down the descent. At its base there is a short descending conduit, the point of maximum penetration at 25.3 metres depth. Below the blocks at the base a continuation can still be sensed, completely impenetrable.

History

First explored by members of the ERE – AEC in August 1970, accompanied by Mr. Enric Pallarès, àlies Man, of Can Man del Perelló. They published a description within a work on cavities of the Rasos de Peguera and the Pla d'Ardenya (?).

It was explored and surveyed again by members of the SIE-CEA during the work carried out in the area in 1983. As a result of this campaign, some youths from El Perelló published in the local magazine an adaptation of the record prepared by the people of the ERE-AEC.
