Description
Morphology
The cavity has two entrances: one located to the N, which opens about 3 metres below the cliff; the other faces SE and is found in the upper part of the gully that rises from the barranc de Montalt. The floor has slight undulations.
Progression
Entering through the entrance that faces SE, one reaches a vestibule at the back of which are two narrow passages that lead to a wide chamber in which the light from the other opening can already be seen.
History
First explored in 1929 by Manuel Mata, of Reus, who found the first archaeological remains. In 1940, S. Vilaseca described it and mentioned the materials found in the excavations of that time.
