Rock Cut Tombs in Sardinia (Sardegna). The necropolis of Noeddale is one of the most significant pre-Nuragic sites in the area of Ossi. It consists of at least six Late Neolithic rock-cut tombs, two of which are decorated with parietal art. They are carved in a rocky slope and a cliff which face the west.

Tomba della casa ("tomb of the house") - this large tomb consists of a droms and 10 chambers. Its name derives from the central chamber which has a ceiling carved into imitation of a roof of the hut.

Tomba delle spirali ("tomb of the spirals") - another milti-chambered tomb, it consists of a dromos and six chambers. The antechamber is decorated with two corniform motifs and a spiral motif.

Tomba III - this large tomb survived in poor condition, its antechamber has partly collapsed.

Tomba IV - this small tomb consists of the main chamber with two niches and a small chamber to its right.

Tomba V - this tomb was partly re-modelled, it is accessible through a rectangular opening and has a channel which probably served to drain water.

Several other rock cut tombs were completely re-modelled.
