History
Although long known by the local people, the first visit of which there is a record is the one made in 1929 by Salvador Vilaseca Anguera, from Reus, who carried out archaeological studies in a series of caves located in the Cingle Blanc, calling them coves d'Arbolí and cataloguing them alphabetically with the letters from A to N; he published these studies in 1934.
In more modern times the cavity received sporadic visits from speleologists. The GES of the CMB during 1979 explored all the cavities of the Cingle Blanc, publishing the results in 1980 in the magazine Sota Terra 1. Currently the municipality of l'Arbolí is incorporated into the comarca of Baix Camp, but at different times it had been in the Conca de Barberà and also in that of the Priorat.
Except for la Cova del Rufino, which Vilaseca catalogued with the letter “C”, and the avenc dels Ossos with the “M”, the GES, faced with the unknown of knowing which letter corresponded to each cavity, chose to give a new name to all the cavities that were not known by any specific name.
