Descrizione

Morfologia

These are two small caves that, together, have a mouth width of 12 metres. The first of them is 2.50 metres long and the second is somewhat deeper, forming a small chamber about 5.60 metres wide with a length of 3.75 metres. The width at the back is filled up by rubble. The maximum height is 1.20 metres.

Altri dettagli

They appear to be concavities originated by the lateral erosion of the riera de Begues when it flowed at a higher level.

Storia

The only known data are those published by members of the Museu Víctor Balaguer (Vilanova i la Geltrú), who explored it in June 1980.
