Tholos in Croatia
207 Meters altitude. Cairn like remains with Dromos entrance way and grave. Probably had a corbelled roof, like Newgrange, now lost. Site is seriously threatened by quarry systematically consuming the hill around it. This is creating cracks in the cliff, which could go any time, and which would completely destroy the site for ever. A rescue operation or preferably a halt to the quarrying are urgently required.
