Dolmen de La Cabaña

The chamber is roughly circular, more than 3 m in diameter, and is formed by seven large upright slabs of limestone, over 2 m high, which project above the mound. It connects with the outside through a corridor 5 m long, oriented to the south-east and flanked by further orthostats, of which only three survive. The corridor may originally have been much longer. Two roofing slabs survive nearest the chamber; the large stones also served as supports for other slabs that covered it.

The surrounding mound of earth and stones is oval and badly deteriorated; it reaches a maximum length of 16 m, a minimum of 11 m and a height of 2 m. The monument lies in an area of deep soil well suited to agriculture.

While in use, the dolmen received human remains deposited both in the chamber and in the corridor. Like many other dolmens, it was violated and looted, and damaged, as early as Roman times, so that only a few bones survive: those of 13 people in the chamber (10 adults, a youth and two children) and one more in the corridor. Grave goods found in the chamber include geometric microliths, a flint arrowhead and a scraper, together with ornaments, notably green beads and some slate rings.
