The troglodytic habitat of the cave of L'Espluguell, also known as Cova de Canves, is a medieval site located in Conca de Dalt. Included in the Inventari del Patrimoni Arqueològic i Paleontològic de Catalunya, it is situated at the partida d'Espluguell, north-north-west of the town of Serradell. The site belonged to the former municipality of Toralla i Serradell.
This site consists of a set of medieval remains with both defensive and civil characteristics. It represents a troglodytic habitat that takes advantage of the large ravines and caves of the region. Two other sites from the same era with similar characteristics are located nearby: Sorta and Esplugallonga.
L'Espluguell is situated on a cliff south of the Serrat del Ban. It is documented in the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya and provides a look into a medieval lifestyle that integrated naturally with the local geography.
