History
Known since time immemorial. Initially, before the construction of the village of Gurp, they were very probably used as dwellings, and later they came to be used as corrals. In the 1860 census they already appear cited as corrals. Some of the names of the corrals are known, cova d'en Peixeco, cova d'en Genera or Geneva, cova d'en Muntaner, cova de la Roca, cova d'en Sisco Macià, but we have not been able to identify which corral each of the names corresponds to.
In the case of this espluga, at cal Jep we were informed that the area where it is located is known as the vedat d'en Pascual. While the wall where the espluga is located is known as Roca de les Vedrines.
