The Dolmen de les Comes Llobres dels Pils , restored in 1997, is a slate dolmen on a hill 400 meters from the mountain road that leads from the Mas Pils homestead to the Sant Quirze de Colera monastery (Spanish: Monestir de Sant Quirze de Colera). The dolmen is located in the municipality of Rabós (also Rabós de l'Empordà), in the comarca Alt Empordà , in the province of Girona in Catalonia in Spain , near the border with France .

It is a passage grave with a pentagonal chamber made of upright slabs and a capstone, as well as remnants of the hill. The anta-like megalithic complex was discovered in the 19th century by Josep Antoni de Nouvilas and excavated in 1934 by Joaquim Botet i Sisó with good results.

The Dolmen del Solar d'en Gibert is also in the village .
