LOCATION:

Very near the village of "Torre d'en Galmés", to which you accede for a deviation that is, to the left, 2.5 km from Alaior on the highway that goes from this town toward the Son Bou beaches.

The megalithic sepulchre is about 800 m beyond the town, beside the road that becomes the asphalted road that leads to it when it arrives at this old village. It is easily visible to the left, amid a field that there is behind the dry wall that goes next to the road.

Alaior.

It presents a rectangular corridor that communicates with a chamber, also rectangular, through a perforated flagstone. To the corridor, you accede for a kind of step formed by a flagstone placed in horizontal, and the whole construction is made with the help of big flagstones placed on edge over the rock. Inside the chamber, they were found three fallen flagstones that were surely part of its cover. Of the barrow, part of the contention wall is conserved in the north side.

The monument was dug in 1974 by the Museu of Mallorca, being picked up a wide group of materials: ceramic, in occasions decorated by means of incised or stuck motifs, a brass knife with fluke, the fragment of an awl of square section, also in brass, and two slate bracelets of archer, as well as a conical stone in rounded shapes that has been interpreted as a possible betilo (a kind of a small idol).

Pretalayotic (2000-1400 B.C.)

Less than 75 m of distance, almost next to the way that we followed, it is the site, never dug, of "Sa Comerma de Sa Garita", with a strange construction porticoed and a possible taula half covered up in filler remains and stones of more size.
