The small dolmen with two slightly inclined side stones, an end stone and the inclined scarred capstone sits on the remains of its hill. It has a rectangular chamber less than two by one meters with the entrance.
A few hundred meters behind the Dolmen of Candare 1 are the remains of Dolmen Candare 2 sunk into its hill. It also has three stones on the side, but no capstone.
