Abstract

This is a cave already known due to the inscription found in the interior and that was made known in the Congress on Rock Art Epigraph in Compostella, in 1992 (edited in 1995). We publishit again here due to certain characteristics that we were not aware of before. For example, the alveolus are excavated in al1 parts of the cave forming a chess pattern which is too perfect to be a pigeon loft. There are other aspects less outstanding but considered together with the alveolus and the inscription they could be definitive: some places that we believe the excavation was begun to form new alveolus but were abandoned have left the mark of two diagonals of a square. With this we come face to face with what in the canonic art is called the Romanesque Diamond. Al1 these characteristics indite an irnmediately pre-Romanesque chronology.
