Description
Morphology
These are three caves independent of one another, but located at the same level and right next to one another, known by the single name of les Tres Coves. The dimensions of all the mouths range between 6 and 8 metres in width and between 1.47 and 1.79 metres in height. Their length, following them from E to W, would be 9 m, 7.74 m and 8.14 metres respectively.
History
Although we have not found documentation about these cavities, it seems that they have been known in the area since time immemorial and used by herders.
The only reference we know about this group of cavities is the one provided by Manuel Cortés i Ribelles in his book El Montsec i Muntanyes Veïnes (1984), where he mentions it, indicating as the only comment that it is found in the barranc de la Coveta.
