The Antas dos Saragonheiros (also called Anta dos Sarangonheiros 1 + 2) are located west of the road ER 18, south of Nisa near Alpalhão in the Portalegre district in Portugal.The two Antas each have a polygonal chamber with seven bearing stones in situ . Anta 1 has a long oval, centered passage. With Anta 2 the gear is shorter. Both were built in the Chalcolithic and are not yet protected.
To Anta 1 belongs menhir of Saragonheiros which lies at the southeastern end of the corridor. It is phallic in shape and has a longitudinal fracture. There are doubts as to whether it is a real menhir, although the similar-looking Menhir do Patalou is some distance away .
Antas de São Gens 1 + 2 are also nearby .
