Cova dels Ossos

Cova de 16 metres de recorregut a Collsuspina.

Collsuspina • Moianès16m0

A 16-metre-long cave in Collsuspina, at the Roc dels Esparvers, with a 10-metre-wide entrance and a narrow gallery leading to a 4x2-metre chamber.

Characteristics

Location

On the small crag that forms on the eastern side of the pla de Querol, known as the Roc dels Esparvers.

Going along the N-141c road, from Tona to Collsuspina, 475 metres before reaching the coll de la Pollosa, we will turn left onto a track that in 375 metres will take us to the house of the collada; a few metres before reaching it, we will turn right onto a track heading SW, which in less than 300 metres will place us below the crag where the cave is located.

Description

Morphology

The entrance is a rock shelter about 10 metres wide by about 3 metres deep on average. From its western end a narrow gallery emerges which, once passed, leaves us in a 4x2-metre chamber, with clear signs of having been excavated.

History

In 1991, Walter Cruells and Xavier Clop carried out archaeological excavation work, based on the data provided by Amadeu Casas of Tona, who had discovered it a few years earlier.
