Conca 'e Mòrtu

The almost symmetrical domo of Conca 'e Mòrtu, carved in granite , is located on the road from Irgoli -Settile to Órtola in the province of Nuoro in Sardinia .

It consists of the entrance, with a small side niche, the oval antechamber, an intermediate passage and the roughly rectangular main chamber (with a small niche in the west wall), all of which are on one axis. The corners of the rooms are strongly rounded. The main feature of this rock tomb , in an area with many tafoni , is its external appearance, which has the appearance of a skull through two recesses.

Nearby are the Domus de Janas by Conchèdda Fraicàta.
