Description
Morphology
It is an old dwelling that still preserves its walls 1 to 2 metres high, with some stones placed in a herringbone pattern opus spicatum and others very well cut. It is oriented towards the S, under a large rock very well protected from wind and rain. Well situated for its view over the valley of Torrenteller and almost inaccessible on all four sides, thanks to its geography of cliffs that surround it. The interior of the rock shelter is no more than about 5 metres deep.
History
Known since time immemorial by the people of the area, and used as a dwelling. It was explored and surveyed on 10 April 1998 by S. Codina, M. Cardona and F. Garriga (CE Solsonès). They named it Balma de la Currua, while on the ICGC map all the place names that refer to it are named as Corrua.
