This monument is located at Aguiar, in the municipality of Viana do Alentejo of the Évora district.
The dolmen is partially destroyed, but the major components are still more or less in place, in any case still present, and the initial dolmen is recognizable, in particular the entrance corridor. This monument was built in the Neo-Chalcolithic period and is not yet classified.
About the access
Squeezed between the circular road turning around the village, in the middle of a few trees.
Signposted along Road R.254.
Nowadays there's also a small picnic park at site. Next to the monument you will find a table and some benches to sit.
