An important detail are preserved remains of paintings which are visible on the first orthostat on the left (looking from the entrance). The paintings include red and black zigzag motifs on white background. These motifs are similar to the ones in Dombate dolmen and the engravings of Roza das Modias.
Nowadays the paintings are covered to assure their conservation.
