A 7 metre long dolmen originally surrounded by a 17 metre diameter circular mound. The excavation in 1964 provided interesting funerary remains that accompanied the bodies (ceramic fragments, a platelet of greenish shale, two arrowheads and a flint knife), dating it to the early third millennium BCE.
