Description
Morphology
It is a rock shelter 7 metres deep, with a width of about 60 metres, although a good part of it is occupied by the construction of the mill.
History
It was inhabited and in operation at least from 1608 (when it is named Molí de Brotons o dels Pilars) until the year 1863, when there was an extraordinary flood that swept away a baby with its little wooden bed from inside the mill, and the eight people of the miller's family died there. Since then it has been abandoned.
