The late Neolithic (2500 to 2200 BC) dolmen of Puigseslloses (also called Puig-ses-Lloses) is a Catalan gallery . It is located directly at the Hermites de la Damunt hermitage in Sant Jordi de Puigseslloses , between the C25 road and the Aerodrom de Folgueroles east of Vic in the Comarca Osona , in the province of Barcelona in Catalonia in Spain .

The dolmen was first mentioned by J. Vayreda and J. Saderra in 1878. Excavations followed in 1922 by J Gudiol and J. Rius Serra and in 1961 by R. Batista. The conservation and restoration was carried out between 2000 and 2006 by Xavier Clop i García.

The north-south oriented trapezoidal megalithic complex is about 9.0 m long, the width is 3.5 m at the head end and 2.5 m at the entrance. There are six thin side plates, some of which are quite high, but mostly chipped off, and the large, also wider end plate. There are no remains of the hill that were likely used for the construction of the hermitage and its forecourt.
