Cova del Barret

Petita cavitat a Pontons.

Pontons • Alt Penedès8m1m

Small cavity in Pontons, visited and surveyed in September 2019 by Jordi Navarro (Centre Excursionista Castellar).

Characteristics

Location

On the T-244 road from Pla de Manlleu, and above Km 13.5, take the paved track that initially heads towards Cal Cendra, then continue N along the track to Cal Lió.

From Cal Lió, the cave is about 760 m to the N-NW on the right hydrographic slope of the stream that passes beside the houses.

A track a few metres before reaching Cal Lió climbs the aforementioned stream on its right hydrographic slope; we will cover a distance of 670 m, always uphill, along the main track until the track crosses the stream; at this point we will continue climbing along the stream bed for a distance of about 170 m; the cavity is on its right hydrographic slope, about 5 m above its bed and at the base of a small cliff.

Description

Morphology

The cave begins with a small chamber two metres long that at its end has an impenetrable passage that connects with the rest of the cave.

Just in the ceiling of the entrance, a vertical passage connects with a level above the entrance chamber; this level begins with a flat-out passage that gives us access to the second chamber of the cavity, more interior and more spacious than the initial one.

The inner chamber has two impenetrable passages; the first connects with the entrance chamber and the second, located at the end of the hall, descends and becomes impenetrable.

History

In September 2019 Jordi Navarro (Centre Excursionista Castellar) visited it and made the survey.
