description

The rectangular chamber, 3.4 m long and 1.8 m wide, consists of six panels. The access to the chamber is carried out by an oval core hole , an opening (height 0.60 m, width 0.50 m) in the facade. The chamber was originally covered by an oval, hemispherical mound made of stones and earth, of which remains (length 7.2 m, width 4.3 m) have been preserved.

The four structures of Menorca with a soul hole, also known as dolmens , have a certain similarity to the Sardinian Tomba dei Giganti . In addition to Ses Roques Llises, the best preserved dolmen in Menorca, the dolmen of Montplè , Alcaidús d'en Fàbregues and Binidalinet are known , which is essentially passed down through its soul hole.

The findings of the excavation in 1974 by Lluís y Othros Plantalamor Massanet include ceramics from the Bronze Age, a knife, a whetstone and V-shaped buttons made of bone.

Ses Roques Llises is located in the immediate vicinity of Na Comerma de Sa Garita .
