Description
Morphology
Rock shelter with a width of 29 metres, 7 metres deep and about 3 metres high at the outermost part; at the inner part it is considerably lower.
Other details
A fairly interesting cavity, as it presents several dry-stone walls, a first one that closes off the rock shelter on the outer part, about 5 metres from the entrance. Inside, on one side, there is a very well marked dwelling and on the other side, a cross wall from the back to the mouth. Some of these walls are built with irregular stones.
History
Known since ancient times in the area.
