Caratteristiche

Località

You have to go to the village of Gurp (Tremp), cross the village and before reaching the Raval you will find a large parking area. From here we will head back towards the cluster of houses; just as we arrive, on the right, a wide ascending path leads us to the water tanks. Behind these begins the path with yellow paint marks that climbs the cliff in zigzags about 75 metres in height; in about 10 minutes we will be on a level where the path passes in front of the various corrals. We have classified them from West to East, so this is the fourth in an E direction, it is located above the cliff of the village of Gurp.

Morfologia

Rock shelter 40 metres wide, with a maximum depth of 11 metres. It is enclosed by dry-stone walls; inside the western part there is a second chamber with a dry-stone wall, separated from the eastern part by a pile of stones placed to make the separation. The eastern part consists of two chambers, both joined by a long passage enclosed on the outside by the dry-stone wall. The shapes of the outer walls that enclose the cavity have a defensive appearance.

Altri dettagli

According to some known indications, it could be the cova d'en Muntaner.

Storia

Known since time immemorial. Initially, before the construction of the village of Gurp, they were very probably used as dwellings; later they came to be used as corrals. In the 1860 census they already appear cited as corrals. Some of the names of the corrals are known, cova d'en Peixeco, cova d'en Genera or Geneva, cova d'en Muntaner, cova de la Roca, cova d'en Sisco Macià, but we have not been able to identify which corral each of the names corresponds to.
