Cova de la Llosa

Petita cavitat propera a la Cova de les Rondes (la Llacuna)

Llacuna, La • Anoia20m5m

Small cavity near the Cova de les Rondes (la Llacuna), with an entrance of 0.50 by 0.50 metres, a 2-metre crawl, a fissure and a small chamber; found on 13 July 1971.

Characteristics

Location

About 10 metres from the Roca del Frare (presumably the authors of the record are referring to the Cova de les Rondes) and at the start of some large blocks.

We suspect that this cave could be another one known by another name and we do not rule out that it might be the one catalogued as Esquerda de la Roca del Frare or V-4, but we are not very sure.

Coordinates and location of very little precision.

Description

Morphology

Entrance of 0.50 by 0.50 metres located in an artificial bank of rocks that allowed the entrance to be covered with a slab.

Once past the entrance one enters a crawl of about 2 metres and immediately afterwards it makes an 80º turn towards the E, where there is a fairly wide and high fissure, very decomposed.

Continuing along the fissure one finds a small chamber 3 metres by 3.5 metres high, formed by the union of two joints.

Continuing towards the back there is a small “ramonage” from where one reaches a fissure 4.5 metres long and where the cavity ends.

In the chamber of the union of joints, in a NE direction, there is a shaft of about 4 metres where a possible continuation can be seen, but a large block made progress unreliable.

History

The only data we know are those published by members of the GREV – Biblioteca Museu Víctor Balaguer (Vilanova i la Geltrú) who say they found it on 13 July 1971 and that the entrance was covered by a slab.
