Can Boquet dolmen
The dolmen of Can Boquet , even Roca d'en Toni is a megalithic site in Catalonia . It is located west of Cabrils at the foot of the Cerro de en Rumpons, also called Roca d'en Toni, probably because the landowner was called Toni Puig according to the records of the 19th century. It is the most famous megalithic complex in the Comarca Maresme , northeast of Barcelona in Catalonia in Spain .
It is a gallery tomb of the Catalan type, with a small square chamber and a corridor made of granite slabs . Three slabs of the corridor and the entire chamber are preserved, which is covered by a single large capstone protruding far at the sides and back. There were even clearer traces of the hill and its border until 1920.
Historians date the gallery excavated at the beginning of the 20th century to 2200 to 1800 BC. Further excavations were carried out by Pere Bosch i Gimpera (1891–1974) and in 1982 by Josep Castells. Finds were only made during the first excavation.
A votive flute, remains of a hearth, fragments of pottery and a piece of flint were found during construction work in the protected area .
