Parque Megalitico dos Coureleiros consists of five megaliths found along a stretch of dirt track just over one kilometre apart. The published coordinates are for dolmen #4.
Alongside with the Antas do Alcogulo (three existing and two more that disappeared in the last century), constitute the two major groups of megalithic funerary monuments in the area.
The dolmens 1, 2, 3 and 4 were the subject of recent archaeological interventions and despite the bad condition they were found, it was still possible to collect a vast collection of axes, polished stone arrowheads, necklace beads, ceramic vessels and flint blades. These are deposited in the Archaeological Section of the municipality.
Dolmen #2 was classified a National Monument since 1910, while the rest were classified as Real Estate Public Interest in 1997.
