Storia
According to L. Pericot, during his first archaeological interventions in the Montgrí (1925), local people told him that towards the second half of the 19th century, a farmer named Margall, owner of an olive grove on the slope of the Montplà, took advantage of a fissure to remove soil for cultivation, and within this soil he had found rosary beads.
On 30 August 1925, Pericot located the cau and the excavations began, finding remains of inhumation, flint pieces and necklace pieces, being a burial cave of the late Neolithic and Chalcolithic. For years the site has been considered exhausted.
