The talayot of Es Mestall is a megalithic structure near Es Migjorn Gran on the Balearic island of Menorca .
The talayot stands 370 m southwest of the southern of the two talayots of Binicodrell at a height of 115 m . It can be reached from Es Migjorn Gran via the Cami de Sa Malagarba. The round talayot with a diameter of 14.20 m is still 4.30 m high today. It has a level access of 1.40 m high and 0.40 m wide. A corridor leads into the interior (diameter: 7.70 m), which has collapsed. Due to the existence of this interior, it is a specialty on Menorca, where most of the talayots are solidly built, and is more similar to the talayots on the neighboring island of Mallorca .
The Es Mestall talayot has been protected as a cultural asset ( Bien de Interés Cultural ) since 1966 . The registration number with the Spanish Ministry of Culture is RI-51-0003678.
