Anta de Arcaínha submitted by Alta-Falisa : The orthogonal silhouette made by capstone / upright at the back of the chamber : a characteristic of many 'Antas' of the region. There must have been trends in architecture at that time... March 2015. (Vote or comment on this photo)

I agree with JAO's submition in relation to an Access 4 for this site as I managed to drive in a family car quite close to this burial chamber. It is located in a nice hill with quite a view to the surrounding area. It has been restored very nicely and has information about it on a board.

    Thanks for the information which I have incorporated into the main site. I visited this area recently but did not make it to this site as the coordinates were not specific at the time. Your new information will help others locate it easily!!
