Cova de la Vinya d'en Tomàs

Petita cova d'uns 14 m. de recorregut a Castellbell i el Vilar

Castellbell i el Vilar • Bages14m2m

Small cave about 14 m long in Castellbell i el Vilar.

Characteristics

Location

From the Casino de Burés in Castellbell i El Vilar, we will follow along Carrer Camí de Burés; after 295 metres, already outside the cluster of houses, on the left of the path there is a widening of it outside the asphalted stretch, the point where a steep, vegetation-filled gully with an abundance of brambles begins. According to the data, the small cave entrance should be at this point, but it has not been located; we very much fear that it has been covered by the earth movement when this stretch of track was widened. Approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

Small cave about 14 m long. After passing between two walls that lead to the entrance, we will find a small vertical drop of 1.5 metres that gives access to a gallery 6 metres long. At the end, on the left side and next to the ceiling, there is a hole that leads to an upper gallery, of equal length and almost in the opposite direction.

Made known in May 1974 to members of the SIS – CE Terrassa during some first forays. In May 1976 they returned to finish the study and survey work.
