Um dos maiores monumentos megalíticos da Península Ibérica. Quando o Dr. Henrique Leonor Pina chegou ao local em 1965, o monumento encontrava-se coberto por uma gigantesca mamoa com mais de 50 metros de diâmetro, encontrando-se apenas à superfície a enorme laje de cobertura da câmara. A câmara, é constituída por 7 enormes esteios que se erguem a cerca de 8 metros acima do leito da câmara e encontrava-se coberta por uma enorme laje com cerca de 7 metros de diâmetro. O corredor, com cerca de 12 metros de comprimento, medindo cerca de 2 metros de altura e 1,5 metros de largura, ainda conserva a sua cobertura em grande parte. Como o exemplo do Cromeleque dos Almendres, a construção deste monumento, foi feita por pessoas que para além de possuírem grandes conhecimentos técnicos, também atravessavam um período de prosperidade económica e social. Outro facto que dá grande importância a este achado arqueológico, foi ter sido encontrado intacto o que forneceu um espólio notável, como os vários objectos de carácter ritual e de adorno recuperados. ----------

The chamber is composed of 7 major supporters that rise to about 8 meters above the bed of the chamber and was covered by a huge slab of about 7 meters in diameter. The corridor, with about 12 meters in length, measuring around 2 meters high and 1.5 meters wide, still has its cover in large part. As the example of the Cromeleque dos Almendres the construction of this monument was made by people who besides having great technical knowledge, also went through a period of economic and social prosperity. Another fact that gives great importance to this archaeological find is that, it was found intact which provided a remarkable collection, like the various objects of a ritual and adornment recovered.
