Caratteristiche

Località

Driving along the GI-641 road from Torroella de Montgrí to l'Estartit, at kilometre 3.5 we find a roundabout; you must exit on the N side (left) and go to the first crossroads, which we follow to the right; at the end of this we continue to the left along the avenue dels Països Baixos; further on we turn left along the avenue d'Anglaterra and at the end of this we continue to the right along the carrer de Suïssa; shortly after, on the left, we find a dead-end street from which a path leads off, from which we can take one of the trails heading E, which climb up to the Tossal Gros. The cavity is located 35 metres W of the Tossal Gros.

Descrizione

Morfologia

It has an entrance 0.7 metres by 2.8 metres high, which communicates directly with a chamber 16 metres long and 7 metres deep with a couple of small crawls at the sides. Formerly there was a passable entrance at the W end, which today is obstructed by blocks.

Storia

Known since time immemorial, in prehistoric times it was used as a burial cave and with this intention the entrance was modified to make it more monumental. The first archaeological excavation was carried out in 1923, by Lluís Pericot.
