"Located near the place of Condominhas, parish of Lamoso, its construction dates back to the III millennium BC, it remain as the only scientifically known in the Municipality since the late nineteenth century. And if the construction of such important monuments of our first farmers not necessarily supposes a strongly hierarchical social order, requires at least the use of forms of organized cooperation for the fulfillment of tasks that, at least symbolically, took a collective sense.
It is a dolmen possessing mound and polygonal chamber composed of nine upright stones, interwoven, with a length of 2.30m. by 2.80m. wide and with cover plate, and a hallway with about 3m. in length and comprises eight pillars, four on each side, with a lid still in situ on the supports."
