Description

Morphology

The rock shelter is beside the gorg del Molí del Cingle: it is circular, wide and not very deep, 0.5 m.

The rock shelters have dimensions of 45 m in length, 6 m in depth and a maximum height of 7.2 m; they are two rock shelters superimposed one on top of the other.

Hydrology

The rec de Prats leaps over the rock shelters and falls onto some rocks, at the foot of the cingle, with a vertical drop of 10 m; beneath it we find the rock shelters.
