The Neolithic Dolmen Cerro de la Barca (also called Dolmen of Valdecaballeros or Tholos del Cerro de la Barca) is located on a hill southeast of Valdecaballeros in the province of Badajoz in Extremadura, Spain .
The dolmen, looted at times that can no longer be determined, was documented and renovated in 2010. The round chamber, which has similarities with the Dolmen of Lácara and the Dolmen del Tremedal , consists of orthostats decorated with fine engravings and cups and indefinable paint residues. It consists of a chamber and a long, wide corridor. The side stones of the corridor and chamber have been preserved, while the ceiling is missing. The Trilithen portal is relatively complete .
Nearby, on a headland at the confluence of the Guadiana and the Guadalupe, between the municipalities of Valdecaballeros Castilblanco and Herrera del Duque, the unexplored Castro del Cerro de la Barca, a fortress from the Iron Age .
