Burial Chamber or Dolmen in AndalucÃa. The current dolmen is about 4000-4200 years old. The approximate dimensions of the orthostats are about 3m high, 1m long and just 20cm wide. The mound was of large proportions, it measured 31 meters in maximum axis by 26.5 meters in width, so ellipsoidal in shape. Its original height is unknown. During excavation, it was possible to verify the existence of a kind of ring of medium-sized river pebbles, which completely surrounded it.
In the first phase, the same funerary chamber was excavated and an occupation prior to the construction of the dolmen was discovered, dating back to approximately 5,000 BC.
