Easy to find, immediately off the D6 road towards Mazarron.
The burial house lays at the foot of the hill which holds the Bronze age settlement at its top. The tomb seems to differ from the dwelling houses above only through the absence of any doorway and the presence of two lines of parallel stones within the structure, partitioning it into 3 discreet chambers.
A stiff climb along a broken concrete path brings you to the settlement itself within 10 minutes, and the low walls and bastions are immediately obvious.
The site has been extensively excavated 1979-85, and the archeological services have highlighted many structures with coloured gravel to help distinguish their positions.
There are several information boards in Spanish and English to help the visitor.

    I think "A stiff climb along a broken concrete path" is more like Access=3.

      Am happy to agree. Only based on access from main road, easily defined route to site & pathways around site. The walk up IS a struggle for the less agile.
      Thanks for guidance. M.
