Description
Morphology
The mouth 2.8 m wide by 1.5 m high – opens at the foot of a small cliff. It gives way to a single chamber of more or less oval shape with maximum dimensions 13×8 m and an average height of around 2 m.
The ceiling coincides with a bedding plane that dips moderately towards the east, so the ceiling height gradually decreases in that direction. The floor is relatively flat and dusty, except for the western sector, which is rocky and somewhat sloping.
Other details
It shows signs of having been used by humans, with fragments of pottery (modern) found there. The cave floor has some goat and roe deer droppings, which are different and easily identifiable.
History
In the year 1931, Pere Vayreda i Olivas (1877-1941) published the monograph: Santa Maria del Mont. (Noticia històrica d'aquest santuari). In this work, as Document no. 1, he adds a list titled, Balmes i habitacions humanes primitives que hi ha esparses per la muntanya. He places to the west of the sanctuary, Balma de les Lloredes, sota Lliurona. Habitada fins els temps moderns, (sic).
Practically unpublished cavity. Located and visited by Ferran Cardona (ECM Barcelonès) on 6-8-2019 while carrying out cataloguing work.
