It measures almost 100 meters and consists of two well-preserved megalithic chambers connected by a long stone corridor. The size of the complex suggests that this megalithic tomb was the burial place of a tribal chieftain or clan leader. The flat interiors of the supporting stones are clearly visible in the burial chambers. There is a theory that the tomb was aligned with the summer solstice on June 21st at the time of its creation.
