A rock cut single tomb.
The rock is not dug into the ground ; and the rim all around the cavity (designed to receive a lid, now lost) and the place provided for the head show a rather sophisticated Sepultura may all indicate a late creation.
Leave Rochoso towards the South on road M.530. About 250 m after crossing the railway, you'll see a signpost at (40.5046 -7.0900) to the right, where you leave your car and walk uphill for about 350 m. Signposted again twice along the path. You cannot miss it.
