Chronology
This megalithic monument, carved from granite between the early 4th and mid-3rd millennium BCE—a period generally associated with the so-called “Eborense megalithic universe”—stands isolated on a plain with wild vegetation near a watercourse. It has a subconical shape, reaches approximately 3 meters in height, and features a slightly rounded top.
Description
Regarding ornamentation, the south-facing side shows some traces of decoration, most notably a depiction of a staff or rod. The north and west faces, which are the best preserved, were used as a surface for carving 25 so-called “cup marks” (covinhas), scattered irregularly across the stone.
