Descrizione
Morfologia
The entrance is 15 metres wide and has a maximum height of 5 metres. It was formerly closed off by a low wall with an access door, now quite deteriorated.
The cave more or less maintains its width (8 metres at the back) and gradually loses height down to 2 metres at the back, located 19 metres from the entrance. Directly above its entrance, and quite high up on its exterior, one can still see the holes where the beams that supported the roof rested when it extended to the outer ashlar wall, located between 4 and 5 metres out from the entrance wall. To the W a doorway with an arch is preserved.
The cova petita has a mouth 3 metres wide and leads to a small chamber of the same width and 5 metres deep.
Storia
Known since time immemorial. Its names come from en Pere Balcells i Masgoret, born in Prades on 31 March 1855, a guerrilla fighter during the Third Carlist War, better known as el nen de Prades. His father worked as a shepherd at one of the richest houses in the village, Cal Perotis, owned by en Pere Roig.
