It is one of the largest that exist in the Iberian Peninsula. It was built between 4,000 and 3,500 BC. It consists of a single chamber, used during the Neolithic period as a burial place and possible religious cults. The polygonal shaped chamber is made of seven huge 8-meter-high stones. Originally they were covered by a stone 7 meters wide. A corridor 12 meters long, 1.5 meters wide and 2 meters high leads to the chamber. The entrance was marked by a huge decorated menir, at the moment fallen.
A large number of archaeological finds found during excavations are found in the Évora museum.
This impressive monument illustrates the technical capacity and complexity of the social organization of the Neolithic populations that built it.
