The Anta da Tapada II is also known as Anta da Lapeira II and is one of the three existing dolmens in the same property. It's located in Pavia from the county of Mora, in the Évora district.

Like the other two tombs this one was also built during the Neo-Chalcolithic period. The excavations at the site were made by the guidance of Veiga Ferreira that also found buried very few ancient artifacts. It's also a not listed or protected monument of Portugal.

About the architecture
This dolmen is not in good condition. It consists of a polygonal burial chamber with a 2 metres (6.6 feet) in diameter. It still has the seven pillars of the chamber in situ of which three are broken. Unlike the other Antas in the vicinity there are no traces of a possible corridor. The top cover is also missing.

About the findings
It was only found one ceramic fragment, one axe of polygonal section and two quartz pebbles.

About the location
It's very easy to reach it, you just need to pass through an entrance gate in the property and walk on a dirt track of about 1 Km (0.6 miles). The entrance is located at the following coordinates: 38.887408N, -8.008913W.
There are no signs prohibiting us from entering so the access is open but be careful when you explore every time you see this red plaques that alert you for the Hunting Zones. Remind yourself that usually hunters can only hunt at Thursdays, Sundays and on public holidays.
