Dolmen A Fornela dos Mouros
The Dolmen A Fornela dos Mouros (also called Dolmen of Aprazadoiro) is located on a mountain slope southeast of Matio, north of Vimianzo in Galicia in Spain .
It is one of the most beautiful megalithic structures in Galicia, is only 1.35 meters high and consists of three relatively thin bearing stones with a large capstone. The complex was built between 2500 and 2000 BC. It is not one of the classic dolmen of the Neolithic Age in the region, but one of the stone boxes ( Spanish como arca megalítica ) of the Bronze Age , similar to the "Caseta de Freáns" further south in the hamlet of Berdoias.
Nearby is the Dombate dolmen .
