Tiny 3 m deep pit in Tivissa, with a single 6 m gallery excavated in a SW-NE direction.

Caratteristiche

Località

We do not know the exact location of the cavity. The original record says: “300 m S of Mas Pellisé, on the top of a small hill”. We have not been able to find out which farmhouse this is.

Prospecting in the area is very difficult due to the abundant vegetation covering the relief, and passage is only possible along the most usual paths. Furthermore, most farmhouses are abandoned and those that are preserved have largely been bought or rented by outsiders who do not know the territory.

The coordinates only indicate the area where we think the cavity should be found.

Descrizione

Morfologia

A single 6 metre gallery excavated in a SW-NE direction descends with a certain slope until it ends above a 1 metre vertical drop, where the cavity ends.

Storia

According to old records of the GES – CMB, N. Llopis Lladó explored around 1934 or 1935 a series of cavities in this southern area of the municipality of Tivissa. Of all of them, only the one he called Avenc del Racó de Reboig (later catalogued as Avenc del Racó d'en Juny) has been located. The location of all these cavities is very imprecise and in some cases nonexistent. Most references speak of Mas Pellisé, but neither in the old cartography nor in the most modern do we find references to this farmhouse.
