Descrizione
Morfologia
The entrance is of good dimensions and has three access openings, which connect a few metres in to a vestibule. In the easternmost sector of this vestibule the main gallery (NE-SW) of 52 metres in length originates, formed by the intersection of a joint with the bedding plane. Signs of a strong ancient erosive process are observed, masked by a more pronounced lithogenic process in the deepest sector.
Idrologia
It is an ancient spring that would have drained the waters of the southern area of the Mola, which, on their way towards the S, were stopped by the plane of the small dislocation of Can Pobla, thus generating the spring.

Storia
Known since time immemorial. The archaeological site studied (early Neolithic) is one of the most important for understanding human presence in Sant Llorenç del Munt.
Named del Frare because a penitent monk lived there and later Pere Costa, born in la Garriga in the year 1727 and died in Can Pobla in 1816. It had also been called Cau de la Moneda, because of the legend of the Moneders Falsos, although this name is attributed to different cavities, the best known being one of the concavities of the Òbits.
Mentioned in all the old catalogues: Puig y Larraz (1896); Font i Sagué (1897); Faura i Sans (1909). The first description and survey appears in the Guia Monogràfica de Sant Llorenç del Munt, published by the Centre Excursionista de Terrassa (1935). In the 1950s it was the subject of a more careful study, together with the other neighbouring cavities of the Canal de Can Pobla, by members of the GES – CM Barcelonès.
