El Labradillo dolmen
The dolmen of El Labradillo , a megalithic tomb in Spain , is located on the top of the hill in the hamlet of El Labradillo, between the Parrilla and Candón streams, north of Beas and Huelva in Andalusia . It is part of the Huelva Dolmen Route .
The dolmen placed under protection in 1987 , like most of the province, dates from the middle of the 3rd millennium (2500–1900 BC). Its existence has been known since the 1950s as Carlos Cerdán, the couple Georg and Vera Leisner as well later Rosario Cabrera and Fernando Piñón did their investigations.
The facility consists of two areas. In the first there are dolmens I and II and the remains of a tumulus . In the second, Dolmen III and the quarry from which the materials come. Dolmen I is the best preserved of the three. It is an approximately 12.0 meter long, west-facing, partially roofed gallery grave with a side chamber. The remains of its curb ring and a large part of the mound have been preserved. Dolmen II is in disrepair and only contains some indications that it had a similar structure. The situation of Dolmen III is similar to that of Dolmen II in that only a few isolated elements have been preserved. There may be other facilities in the area of Dolmen III.
