Dolmen di Sa Coveccada

The dolmen consists of three large vertical stone slabs with a massive 18-ton roof slab, reaching 2.7 meters in height and 5 meters in length.

Dating back to 3500-2900 BCE during the Ozieri culture of the Late Neolithic period, this monument served as a collective tomb for the ancient inhabitants.

The structure contains small niches along its interior walls that were designated for funeral offerings and grave goods according to prehistoric burial traditions.

The rectangular chamber measures 4.18 meters by 1.14 meters, with a small 50x50 centimeter entrance portal oriented toward the southeast.
