Farmhouse in a dilapidated state of which only the foundations are preserved, reaching a maximum height of one and a half meters. The perimeter walls and some of the interior are visible, all quite covered with vegetation. They are made of stone from the area bound with lime mortar, although some parts are made of dry stone. According to Miquel Ballbè in Les cases de pès de Viladecavalls, this farmhouse could correspond to that of Can Parent de la Serra. The latter, already existing in the 13th century, was part of the property of Can Boada de les Parentes. Observations: It is also known as Casa Torras. Outside we find a terrace equipped with a table and seats around it made by stacking stones. A good place to stop and grab a bite.

Limestone quarry located under Turó de les Bassotes. This is an area with a marked upward slope, where compact masses with large stone slabs are visible. Some parts have cuts, unequivocal signs of the extractive activity that took place there in the past. The quarries have been exploited since ancient times to obtain construction materials. Unfortunately, this activity has resulted in continued destruction of the natural environment that has continued to this day. In the case of limestone quarries, their extraction was aimed at obtaining lime. This material was widely used in traditional architecture, especially in the plastering of facades. The stone was extracted by means of barrinas, in which explosives were placed that fragmented the petri blocks. Then, the stone was transported in carts to the lime kilns, which used to be located near the quarries. Usually, the ovens were placed on the side of the road, in order to facilitate their filling. The stone was placed there precisely and followed a long combustion process that resulted in lime. The Joan Purull quarry is a good example of this extractive activity, since near it we find the two kilns of Can Margarit and El Riscal, which indicate the importance of this activity in the area. Other lime kilns have been found in the same mountain range of Coll Cardús, although further away from this quarry.
