Description
Morphology
Currently most of the caves that make up the Parc de les Coves Prehistòriques de Serinyà are blurred with respect to their original form. A large part of their ceilings, when not the entire cavity directly, are collapsed and the areas that have not yet been excavated remain completely refilled with sediments, essentially clay and fragments of travertine, which hide the forms and the location of the walls. The Reclau Viver one, for being completely excavated and for having a piece of intact ceiling, is the one that best shows us its original morphology. The cova de Mollet III is a cave with a fallen ceiling, on the same line as the other coves de Mollet; both this cave and those of Mollet nº II, IV and V have no speleological interest, they are small shelters open in the travertine.
History
It was discovered by F. Canal; the excavation works began on 30 September 1972 in a campaign initiated by Messrs. Corominas, Canal, Oliva and Bedoya. Its stratigraphy is very similar to that of the cova Mollet I and that of l'Arbreda II.
