description
The chamber is about 2.4 meters long and 1.2 meters wide. The vertical bearing stones of the chamber and part of the corridor are preserved. The whole thing gives a useful idea of what a catalan gallery-type dolmen with sloping walls is. When Antoni Guilleumes discovered the dolmen in 1952, it was still in a part of the hill about ten meters in diameter (today 7.9 meters). In 1955, Josep Estrada i Garriga found a plaster made of three layers of stone in the chamber, under which there was a bronze dagger , arrowheads , a spearhead and Hallstatt-era ceramic fragments of the bell beaker culture . This allows the usage phase of the dolmen to go back to the 2nd millennium BC. To lay. According to Josep Maria Cuyàs i Tolosa (1976), a forest fire appears to have been involved in the destruction of the dolmen.
