Tiny pit just over 2 m deep in the Serra de Prada, Cabó.

Characteristics

Location

From Organyà along the C-14 road towards la Seu, shortly before km. 166 (near l'Hostal Nou) a track leaves to the left (camí de Fontanella) which with some spectacular zigzags climbs towards the summit of the Cogulló (TV repeaters). Well before arriving, at the coll d'Ares, one must follow the path towards the deserted village of Ares. The pit is located to the N of the old hamlet, at the top of the crest that comes from the Cogulló and a few metres from the Cabó slope and the municipal boundary.
