Descrizione
Morfologia
An entrance 2.5 metres wide and 1.4 metres high, on a steep slope, gives access to a chamber 3 x 4 metres and a height of 2-2.5 metres. On the N wall, 1 metre above the level of the chamber, there is a crawlway that ends at 3.7 metres.
Storia
Sepulchral-type cavity, known since time immemorial and which apparently had been used as a hiding place during the civil war, a dry-stone wall having been put in place that sealed the entrance. Discovered by Antoni Masanell (from Vilafranca del Penedès) who, together with other amateurs, began excavating it in August 1947, finding lithic, ceramic and metal materials from the Neolithic, as well as various human remains, very mixed and deteriorated, of which only one skull could be studied. In February 1972 it was visited by members of the SIE – CEA who surveyed it (survey unpublished until now). Finally, in March 2014, members of the EC Gràcia and the GE Badalona updated the data of the cavity.
