The statue menhir on the Dolmen of Navalcán, ( Spanish Estatua-menhir del Dolmen de Navalcán ) in Navalcán in the "Campana de Oropesa", is in the courtyard of the Museo de Santa Cruz ( Lage ) in Toledo in central Spain .

The statue menhir , decorated on all four sides , clearly shows a snake crawling into the earth and less pronounced different lines, including many snake-like double lines and a báculo . The representation was oriented to the east.

The approximately 5.0 meter long dolmen of Navalcán ( Lage ) is mostly covered by the water of the Embalse de Navalcán reservoir and is only visible at times of severe drought. Its circular construction is of the same type as that of the Azután and “la Estrella” dolmens .
