Descrizione
Morfologia
The narrow entrance is located in a small elongated depression and communicates with a narrow 2 m drop that leads to a small chamber. From here and down a steep slope one descends to the bottom of the pit, which has a flat floor and is full of rubble. At the other end a short, narrow gallery develops climbing upwards.
Progressione
Care must be taken due to the instability of some blocks along the route.
Storia
The pit was discovered, at least archaeologically, by a group of collaborators of the Biblioteca-Museu Víctor Balaguer de Vilanova i la Geltrú in 1958 and they made a small 1 x 1 m test pit at the bottom of the cavity. Bones, seven spindle whorls and different types of pottery were found.
In 1968 members of GET – AE Talaia published a short review with a survey giving it a depth of 12 m (the image is practically unreproducible due to the poor printing quality).
Burial cavity with human remains and many pottery fragments dated between the Bronze and the Iron-Iberian. All these materials are in the Museu Víctor Balaguer de Vilanova i la Geltrú.
At some points the pit has been mentioned as Cova dels Pelagons.
