Monte da Barrosinha 2 is a dolmen located in São Miguel de Machede in Evora and is part of megalithic route of the region. Chronologically it can be put in the Neo-Chalcolithic period. The monument is composed of six pillars, one of them is fractured. It shows no signs of the corridor. The top slab is fractured and fallen next to the chamber and has a total of 33 dimples. There's not much of a tumulus since the ground is very damaged by agricultural machinery. This monument has not yet been classified.
Near by and located West from this site you can also observe other magnificent dolmen (check out also Anta do Monte da Barrosinha 3). Located further North you can also visit Anta do Pau.

The access to the site can be made by car until a certain point, then it's better to do the rest of the way by foot. This monument is in private property but can be visited since the access is open and has indications to the reach the site. The plaques are very old and degradated.

- 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.
