Caratteristiche

Località

Leaving the Granadella along the C-233 road towards the Soleràs, on reaching kilometre 28.450 we will follow a track that leaves on our left and continues along the bottom of the Vall de les Figueres. After travelling about 2.35 kilometres (ETRS89 coordinates X: 302615 – Y:4585970) we will see the mas del Menotx on the left. Once we have reached the mas we will leave the vehicle and continue on foot along a track in a S direction; in a little over 300 metres we will reach the Balma.

Descrizione

Morfologia

Rock shelter 29 metres wide by 10 metres deep. It is closed by a dry-stone wall with two entrances; the one situated furthest N has been partially demolished to allow the entry of a tractor. An interior wall divides the rock shelter into two unequal parts. The right-hand one is used to store farm tools, while in the left-hand one we find two entrances to a vat excavated in the ground two metres deep, some 20m³. The interior walls are encaironades, and the roof, made with a very flat vault, preserves two access openings.

Altri dettagli

We can also see scattered on the ground a considerable number of barrel hoops or bocoi, as well as the damaged remains of the staves.
