This megalith located in the Sierra de Merillés, one of the northwestern foothills of the Sierra de Peña Manteca, is in an acceptable state of preservation.
It currently conserves four orthostats whose arrangement allows access to the interior of the chamber from the north, a chamber whose height is around 80 centimetres. The single slab of the roof measures 2.70 x 2.05 x 0.25 metres and is grooved in its northwestern quadrant.
The location of this dolmen allows visual contact with another important megalithic station located to the north: Las Chamas de Penausén (Salas).
Built in: IV-III millennium BC.
