It is located at the Cré estate near a dirt road that leads through the Herdade da Cré to the Herdade dos Prates, near Pavia in the Évora district in the Alentejo in Portugal . Anta is the Portuguese name for around 5000 megalithic structures or dolmens , which were built during the Neolithic in the west of the Iberian Peninsula by the successors of the cardial or imprint culture . Successors of the cardial or imprint culture were built.

Little information is available about this monument, which has not yet been classified as a cultural heritage and is therefore not protected by law.

Cre 3 is a typical Anta with a chamber made of 5 supporting stones and 3 preserved stones in the corridor. 3 of the bearing stones of the chamber have fallen over, so that half of the capstone is on the floor. Traces of the hill can be seen.

Nearby are the Antas da Caeira and the Antas da Herdade dos Prates .
