Alcaidús d'en Fàbregues
The dolmen of Alcaidús d'en Fàbregues (also known as Tanques de Montpler ) is one of the 2nd millennium BC. Megalithic complex built between the Copper and Bronze Ages . It is located in the garden of a villa south of the Me-1 road from Maó to Alaior on the Spanish Balearic island of Menorca .
description
The almost rectangular chamber consists of high and cut-off medium-high panels, some of which are missing. The access to the chamber is carried out by a picktes approximately rectangular core hole in the stone tiles. The soul hole has a recess on both sides. On the outside, it seems to serve to hold a closure plate. However, the function of the recess on the inside has not been clarified.
The upper part of the chamber is missing. It was originally covered by an oval mound made of stones and earth.
The construction of the dolmen is very similar to the dolmen of Ses Roques Llises and Montplé. The latter is located a few hundred meters from the Alcaidús d'en Fàbregues dolmen and is practically its twin. A fourth dolmen with a soul hole in Menorca, the Dolmen of Binidalinet, is incomplete and cannot be sufficiently compared with the others. North of the Me-1 road from Maó to Alaior are the talayot of Biniaiet Vell and the talayotic settlement of Sant Vicenç d'Alcaidús .
