Description
Morphology
A 7-metre-deep rock shelter in Lladurs. It is oriented to the S, but it is twice as long as that of la Corrua, divided into two very clearly distinct parts. The western side has suffered a major collapse of the ceiling, leaving the conglomerate rock scattered in many fragments on the ground, just as it was left at the time. On the eastern side, the ceiling is much safer, and on the ground we will find some small walls half a metre high, like a dwelling.
Hydrology
A little further towards the eastern side, there is a small drip spring in a hole in the wall itself.
Other details
On the eastern side, the ceiling is much safer, and on the ground we will find some small walls half a metre high, like a dwelling, but recently it was used as a pen for the goat herds that grazed along these cliffs. There is also half a metal drum that some local neighbour uses to make oil from juniper resin.
History
Known since time immemorial by the people of the area. It was explored and surveyed on 10 April 1998 by S. Codina, M. Cardona and F. Garriga (CE Solsonès).
