Description
Morphology
Through a high entrance, more than 5 metres, one enters a single gallery about 10 to 15 metres long.
No survey is available, so the speleometric data are approximate.
Other details
The access itinerary is highly recommended because of the massive presence of monumental yews (Taxus baccata), some of them millennia old.
History
Known since ancient times as la Llòbrega to distinguish it from the relatively nearby cave which, with two entrances, is illuminated and is known as la Lluminosa.
Cited by Faura in his Recull (1909) and by Ferraté in Espeleologia de les comarques tarragonines (1918), although neither gives more data than the name.
We know of no specific cataloguing work, although it is very well known to hikers.
It seems that in other times it was used to keep flocks.
