From Bak_teria:
The Anta of Chaminé is located in the hill of ChamÃné in Nossa Senhora do Bispo, in the county of Montemor-o-Novo of the Évora district. It is believed that has been built around 4000 or 3000 B.C. It fits chronologically in the general type of constructions of the Évora Megalithism. This monument is still waiting to be classified as heritage.
About the architecture
The dolmen consists of a burial chamber with little more than 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) in diameter whose original structure still stand in situ. Is made of seven granite pillars and still has got the top slab. The corridor which is oriented to the east keeps four pillars on the south side and two on the north side and is about 0.8 metres (2.6 feet) tall. Shows no traces of the mound or of the coverage of the corridor that should have been 2.4 metres long (7.8 feet) in the past. It also presents eight dimples engraved on the top face of the hat slab.
About the location
You can get there by walking or driving in a dirt road located between São Geraldo and Sabugueiro. This dirt track goes to the hill of Bate Pé and when you go 1.3 Km (0.8 miles) you will notice that the dolmen is located 200 metres at the right side and is visible next to some cork and holm oaks.
