Necrópole da Pedreirinha submitted by obscureed : Necrópole da Pedreirinha: child-sized rock-cut tomb. This is viewed from above. From the water level, you can see that it is sloping downwards. By comparison with others, you can see that there is a broad chamfer around the edge (presumably to hold some kind of covering slab). (Vote or comment on this photo)

Necrópole da Pedreirinha submitted by obscureed : Necrópole da Pedreirinha: descriptive panel's sketch. At Carrasqueira, it is noted that the tombs are all oriented North-South -- but the orientations here in Pedreirinha suggest that this may be coincidental.

Necrópole da Pedreirinha submitted by obscureed : Necrópole da Pedreirinha: the same adult-sized rock-cut tomb as before. This is sloping down to the right (though the photo doesn't make this clear), so the gap in the tomb's wall (in the middle of the photo) can be interpreted as a drainage channel.

This is described as a "necrópole" (in contrast to the nearby "sepultura") because, according to the descriptive panel, there are three tombs: two adults and one child. The adult one that I found, in front of the panel, was probably the one photographed by Klingon -- it is more overgrown now. The child's one, behind you and to the right when looking at the panel, is clearer (once you scramble a few paces to find it). I couldn't find the other adult one.
