The Stabile Dolmen discovered by Maggiulli in 1893 (also called Quattromacine - after the farmhouse of the same name of medieval origin - or Dolmen di Giuggianello ) is 105 cm high and with the "Scusi Dolmen" part of the "Giardino megalitico d'Italia" (Italian megalithic garden) in Giurdignano on the Salento peninsula in the province of Lecce in Apulia .

The dolmen of the Otranto group lies next to a megalithic outcrop made of limestone cliffs . The only about one meter high chambers of the dolmens of this group are oval, round or polygonal. The ceiling slab is irregularly rectangular (180 × 260 cm) with an average thickness of 20 cm and rests on seven overlapping orthostats and two monolithic pillars. The slightly inclined plate has a groove along the circumferential edge.
