Casota do Fusiño

Casarota do Fusiño is a dolmen in the parish of Santiago de Lampón, in the municipality of Boiro, province of La Corogne, Galicia, Spain. It is dated by typological estimate to 4000 BCE to 3000 BCE.

The dolmen was originally covered by a tumulus measuring about 21 m long by 16 m wide. Remains of this mound survive in places at heights reaching 1,40 m. The burial chamber itself was polygonal, and eleven orthostats still stand before and around it. The capstone has fallen to the ground.

Together with the Arca do Barbanza and the Casota do Páramo, Casarota do Fusiño is one of the three largest dolmens in the region. The site was declared a Bien de interés cultural in 2011. Research on megalithic culture in the province of La Corogne and its relationship with the natural setting is published in La cultura megalítica de la provincia de La Coruña y sus relaciones con el marco natural, implicaciones socio-económicas.

Casarota do Fusiño lies somewhat apart from other megalithic sites nearby and was therefore not included in the Ruta das Mámoas, a route linking 13 other megalithic sites in the region. Galicia has many megalithic tombs of this kind, forming part of the wider tradition of dolmens in Spain.
