Near the village of Ruinas, in the region of Grighine, middle of Sardinia. It is a multi-cellular Tomb of particular interest, due to the presence of false windows, defined by grooves engraved with traces of red paint, of straight rafters in radial relief on the ceiling to evoke a wooden roof. In the main cell there is a small pillar, of which only the lower and upper parts are preserved with a symbol of the bull's head. Referable to the recent Neolithic.
