TheCaptain saw from a distance on 13th Oct 2019 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 3 From the dolmen 1, I see a gate with signpost into the field, so use that to get out, and start to look for the dolmen number 2, which is on the other sde of the trackway. I see it up on the hillside a hundred yards or so away, and with no obvious way in, and cattle in the field.
Compared to the number 1, its a bit of a wreck anyway, so I make do with a couple of pictures from the trackway. At this point, while going back to the car, I see somebody on a quadbike haring up the lane towards me, so I nod and wave at him as he approaches. He slows down and looks like he's heading into the nearby field, but just looks at me, turns round and heads back from whence he came. I guess he had seen me from the farm and was just checking me out, but as I was obviously leaving anyway said nothing.

Anta do Barrocal 2 (Anta Herdade do Barrocal 2) is about 100 metres north west of the site sign in a field. Its twin Anta do Barrocal 1 (Anta Herdade do Barrocal 1) is found to the south of the road some 40 metres into a field by a mill and pig farm. Restored in the 1970's these are two very nice dolmens. I visited the sites in April 2010.
