Puig Esquer Dolmen Verified listing

Mid-recent Neolithic Passage Tomb (4th millennium BC). Probably located by Josep Antoni de Nouvilas at the end of the 19th century. It was the subject of an archaeological intervention in 1923 undertaken by Pere Bosch-Gimpera and Lluís Pericot without positive results. It is made of white quartz, with a short, fairly open trapezoidal chamber and a narrow passageway, built on a gentle north to south slope. The chamber is very narrow and retains its original five supports as well as the capstone. No paving remains have been observed. The capstone, now split into two pieces, in its original position must have been adjusted in front and behind, although it protruded from the sides of the chamber. The access to the chamber has not been preserved; it must have been a passageway of slabs or dry-stone walls. The mound was formed by filling it with earth and stones.
