This neolithic dolmen (which has the same name as the one near Malpica) was build around 4000 - 3000 BCE. It's located on the top of a mound (28 x 30 m), and it's length is 7.5 m. It has three significant capstones. The remains of a corridor orientated to East are still visible. Archaeologists discovered remains of paintings inside the burial chamber.
The site is easily accessible - there's a sign on the main road leading from Bainas.
