Description

Morphology

It is a small cavity among rocks, with a low ceiling, where the entrance has been raised in height with a small dry-stone wall.

Other details

It seems quite evident that at some point it was used by the inhabitants of the Mas de Vima as a storeroom.

History

Known since remote times by the people of the Mas de Vima, who by all indications used it as a storeroom. Located and visited by members of the Espeleodijous group in August 2019, during the search for the Tuta de Vima.

Very possibly it is the same cavity that Genar Aymamí mentions as the Cova de la Casa d'en Vime (Pont de Bar), in his work on troglodytism in Catalonia published in the proceedings of the 1st Catalan Congress of Speleology (2004): pp. 215-227.
