The dolmens are the first large buildings, that human beings building for more than 5000 years. It is a building made of stone slabs with large, supported directly in the ground to support others who make deck. For the funerary regalia deposited on the inside it can be said that we are witnessing the first major change in the social and religious organization at the time. These are buildings with a highly regarded funeral collective burials where premium the rite of burial versus incineration. Type dolmen tomb corridor, is the Chalcolithic period. The main camera is built with slabs, is a false dome made from slabs of stone and adds a corridor that connects with the outside world, in the same direction of dolmen generally from east to west, with the entrance facing east.

Los dólmenes son sin duda las primeras construcciones de gran envergadura que el hombre edifico hace más de 5000 años. Es una construcción en piedra realizada con ortostatos de gran tamaño, hincados directamente en la tierra para soportar otros que hacen de cubierta. Por el ajuar funerario depositado en su interior se puede decir que estamos asistiendo al primer gran cambio en la organización religiosa y social de la época. Son edificaciones con un carácter eminentemente funerario considerándose enterramientos colectivos donde prima el rito de la inhumación frente la incineración. Este tipo de dolmen llamado sepulcro de corredor es del periodo calcolítico. La cámara principal esta construida con ortostatos, mediante una falsa cúpula hecha con lajas de piedra y se le añade un pasillo que lo conecta con el exterior en la misma orientación del dolmen que generalmente es de este a oeste, con la entrada mirando hacia levante.
