CHRONOLOGY:
Prehistoric and probably dated from the 111 millennium b.C. The Dolmen of Lamoso had a first excavation in 1896 guided by Oliveira Guimarães, and another in 1963 under the archaeological guidance of Dr. António Augusto Tavares. During the excavations in the quarry's vicinities a polished axe, a broken silex blade, a chip axe, two firing strikers and remaining portions of manual millstones and ceramics were found. The chip axe can only be visited in the Archaeological Museum of the Fortified Village of Sanfins, for the remaining estate was delivered to the National Archaeology and Ethnology Museum.

In the upper part of the head flagstone there is a triangular engraving. The corridor is short (3 meters or more) and composed of posts (8), four on each side, which support another covering flagstone.
