Storia
It was located by Enric Jiménez and Narcís Sitjes, in the month of June of the year 1978, together with other cavities in the area. Later, with members of the Associació Arqueològica de Girona, an archaeological intervention was carried out that made it possible to document archaeological levels beneath a stalagmitic layer between 20 and 40 cm. Among the materials unearthed, a bifacial discoid on a slate pebble, some quartz flakes and a large burin stand out. The evidence provided by the excavation allows us to deduce that it is a place of occupation during the Middle Palaeolithic, without it being possible to determine whether it is a habitat space or a working station. Although parallels and the distribution of the internal space suggest that it is the first possibility. According to Joan Badia, there was a hermitic use of this cave in medieval times.
