Anta de Agualva, Neolithic dolmen in Agualva-Cacém, Portugal.

The Anta de Agualva features a polygonal chamber measuring 3.7 by 3.8 meters, supported by seven vertical stones with an access corridor.

Carlos Ribeiro first documented this megalithic structure in 1875 during his research of regional dolmens, leading to significant archaeological discoveries.

The dolmen served as a communal burial site during the late Neolithic period, containing artifacts that reveal information about prehistoric funeral practices.

Visitors can access the site within the Jardim da Anta park, established in 2004, which incorporates the ancient structure into modern landscaped surroundings.

Three large stones remain at the site as remnants of the original covering slab that sealed this prehistoric tomb dating to the 4th millennium BC.
