Description
Morphology
It is a large rock shelter worked with several chambers inside; it has an entrance-to-back route of 26 metres where it is totally dark, the height decreases until it is less than 0.5 metres at the back, mainly due to the large accumulation of excrement produced by the flocks of sheep that for a long time have used the cave as a livestock pen.
History
Cave used and known in the area since prehistoric times. The first speleological mention of the cavity was made by Manuel Cortés in the book “El Montsec i Muntanyes veïnes (1984)”.
Both the Institut Cartogràfic de Catalunya and the official gazetteer of toponymy of Catalonia cite this cavity with the name “cova de Montadó de Dalt”, but they wrongly place it in the municipality of Vilanova de Meià and in the comarca of Noguera.
