The Anta do Pau is a dolmen that can be classified chronologically in the Chalcolithic . It has a large round chamber made of seven supporting stones that are still standing. The capstone was temporarily in the chamber, possibly because of the trees in the immediate vicinity. It was reissued during the restoration.
