Descrizione
Morfologia
The two openings that serve as entrances are half closed by the remains of an old stone wall. Inside, a small chamber forms, about 10 metres in diameter along its longest axis.
Idrologia
Below the rock shelter, to the west, a torrent begins, the torrent de la Cansalada, with a toponymy also linked to the pig.
Altri dettagli
A few metres from the rock shelter there are some cist graves.
Storia
The first written reference to the rock shelter is from the month of March of the year 1225. On this date the abbot Berenguer made various concessions to Bernat de Costadelau and his wife, Bernarda, among which were three plots that the mas Riquer (of Can Pobla) held "al bosc". One was at the Degotall, the other at Tallades and the third above the grau de la "Porcheriza".
But the rock shelter was already in use long before this first written record. Inside the small cavity, archaeological remains (pottery) corresponding to the Roman, Visigothic and medieval periods have been found. It is evident that the name refers to the function of a pigsty that the rock shelter had long ago.
