History
Known since time immemorial. It has always been located in the torrent de Bertí; according to the ICGC it would be the torrent del Traver.
We update the record (January 2017) since it has been detected that in the work of Collado and Sandoval (2000) there is a confusion regarding the name of the cavities described. What they call Barbot Negre is in reality the Cova de Vallderrós and vice versa.
