Description
Morphology
Rock shelter about 18 metres wide and about 2-3 metres high, walled up by an artificial wall partially demolished. The floor is dusty and among the sediments an archaeological test pit of a little more than 1 metres deep has been excavated. On the South wall there is a short gallery with a partition that leads to a water deposit.
Hydrology
On the South wall there is a short gallery with a partition that leads to a water deposit.
Other details
Rock shelter formerly fitted out as a beehive shelter. Many years ago it had been used for forestry, hence it is also known as Cova de les Arnes.
History
Cavity known since time immemorial and mentioned in all the speleological catalogues of Montserrat. It had never been the subject of a documented record. The first survey we know of is the one carried out by members of the GE Pedraforca in April 1972 and until now unpublished.
