It has a burial chamber with approximate dimensions of 3.5 metres long, 2 metres wide and a height of up to 2 metres. The stones that form it, known as orthostats, can reach an estimated weight of between 500 and 1,500 kilograms each, depending on their size and thickness. These large granite slabs, typical of dolmens, were carefully placed by Neolithic communities as collective funerary monuments, reflecting the effort and ritual importance of the place.

Dating back to the Neolithic period (approximately between 4,000 and 3,000 BC), this dolmen, made up of large stone slabs arranged vertically and covered by a top slab, served as a collective tomb. It is one of the most representative examples of prehistoric funerary architecture in the region.

On a small hill from where you can see a good panoramic view of the As Maus de Salas Reservoir, we find the Casota do Foxo Dolmen. This monolithic complex was built between the 4th and 3rd centuries BC by Neolithic herdsmen.
