Burial Chamber (Dolmen) in North Portugal

First site of the Conjunto Megalítico de Meninas do Castro route on the Aboboreira plateau, North of the town of Baião. There are 6 sites in total as provided by the local councils route map.

The are in this order when following the route:

1. Dólmen de Outeiro de Gregos 3
2. Dólmen de Outeiro de Gregos 2
3. Dólmen de Outeiro de Ante 1
4. Other Dólmen (No name given!)
5. Dólmen de Meninas do Castro 3
6. Dólmen de Chã de Parada 1

It is a mystery why the sites have numbers. For example, Outeiro de Gregos 3 and 2 but no number 1? I can only assume that there is an Outeiro de Gregos 1 somewhere more difficult to reach on the plateau or it has been damaged so much that it is unrecognisable?

First of 6 sites under the collective title of route 'Abobeira' as provided by the local tourist information office. The route map they provide is not very useful as the sites are no longer as they appear in the 2010 Google Street Map View and are easy to drive past without seeing them! Please use the GPS coordinates as they are accurate. It would appear ... (Vote or comment on this photo)
