Dolmen Arbu 1 + 2
The dolmens Arbu 1 + 2 are located in close proximity to the southeast of Birori and northeast of Borore near a river in the province of Nuoro in Sardinia . The dolmens Arbu 1 + 2 are two of about 100 dolmens in Sardinia.
The Arbu 1 dolmen is a well-preserved chamber of the Neolithic Ozieri culture . It consists of ten upright supporting stones and a capstone of 2.4 × 2.25 m. The chamber has internal dimensions of 1.57 × 1.25 m.
The Dolmen Arbu 2 is located a few meters northwest of the Dolmen Arbu 1. It consists of two natural rocks and the capstone of 1.7 × 1.22 × 0.45 m, which covers the space between the rocks. In this respect, it is very similar to Western European pseudodolmen , which however do not occur in Sardinia.
Nearby is the Sarbogadas dolmen .
