The cova de l'Escoda has a wide vestibule of 7X8 metres with a slight ramp towards the interior, has a passage of 7 metres and had been used as a livestock pen.

Next to the cave there is a rock shelter with paintings known by the same name of Cova de l'Escoda, it is about 12 metres wide by about 3 metres deep at some point, and a height that ranges between approximately 4 and 5 metres. It is oriented to the south-south/east.

The painted figures are located in a small cavity situated at the right end of the rock shelter, the only place where limestone slabs of the former support are preserved and at a considerable height. 4 schematic and stylised naturalistic pictograms have been documented, corresponding to representations of two human figures (one with loop-shaped arms and the other a possible archer), a doe and remains of pigment of difficult interpretation. The most representative figure of the group, the doe, is located on the lowest level and is about 2.12 m from the ground. It has a small head with two large, pointed ears. The neck is quite stylised and gives way to an agile body that is incomplete in its rear part. The front limbs, which are preserved almost intact, are thin and show the nails. The technique used is the simple line, the flat wash and the irregular line, and the colours are red, reddish brown and dark reddish brown.

The Cova de l'Escoda has traditionally been included in the group of naturalistic rock art sites "Levantine".
