This site has none of the high carved portal or entrance stones associated with other Tomba di Giganti in Sardinia. However, it gives a good idea of how such tombs were laid out and is nicely fenced. If you visited it after seeing some of the impressive tombs elsewhere on the island you would be disappointed. Access is on the SP90 west from Santa Teresa Gallura then turning south into an area of retirement and holiday homes at Santa Reparata, then along a rough drivable track through areas where rubbish is dumped. A final walk of a few metres past bushes takes you to the site. There are sign posts most of the way but the last few hundred metres is a very rough earthen surface only drivable if you go very slowly.
