Sa mandra manna
The archeological complex Sa Mandra Manna ( Italian Complesso archeologico Sa Mandra Manna ) is located on a plateau near Tula in the province of Sassari in Sardinia .
A semicircular wall made of megaliths about 120 m long and about 3.0 m high surrounds part of the plateau. The construction consists of a double row of partially rectangular, but mostly irregularly shaped boulders around a cavity filled with smaller stones. In the wall there is an access covered with a lintel .
A prehistoric two-room hypogeum was discovered in the south wall of the plateau, with a horizontal rock slab on top, which gives the monument a megalithic appearance. The wall has boulders of considerable size, some of which have variously oriented, mainly vertical, linear indentations. Small goblets can be seen under the engravings. Although iconographic comparisons have not yet been made, the context of the structure, its location, and the presence of chalices suggest that they should be related to the megalithic moment of the location.
The Bronze Age construction deserves special attention: there are many of them; almost everywhere on the island, but mostly along the coast: Antigori, Cabu Abbas, Casteddu de Fanaris, Fort Doladorgiu , Ferricci, Monte Elias , Monti Casteddu, Saurecci and others. The places give the impression of strategic nuraghic fortresses.
