Anta de Valmor or Vale do Mouro is a dolmen or Anta located in Elvas. This monument is rated as IIP – Imóvel de Interesse Público (Estate of Public Interest) since the 31st of December, 1997. Chronologically it can be put in the Neo-chalcolithic period.
About the architecture
This one is a medium-sized monument. The chamber retains seven pillars in place, lacking only the head pillar that wouldn't be of large dimensions. The corridor is apparently long, and retains two covering slabs "in situ". Another stone slab is tipped next to the the corridor which could also be a pillar. The mound is visible and in acceptable conditions.

Aditional information:

- The entrance to the zone of the monuments may be blocked by fences, they were essentially made to demarcate the land and not allow the escape of livestock. Usually there are spaces in the fences within these demarcated areas where the access is possible. When entering in demarcated land never forget to close the access gate of the location, you need to be very aware because cattle can escape.
- There are no signs prohibiting us from entering so the access can be open but be careful when you explore every time you see this red plaques that alert you for the Hunting Zones.
