Necrópole de Portela do Antigo
At the Portela of the former, located north of the village of Penedones, there are three shallow granite outcrops, where they identify sets of anthropomorphic graves, his head perfectly defined and narrow for my feet.
One of the outcrops is located next to a post of high voltage and recognizes three adjoining graves. The other is about five meters from the former and has another grave, although partially destroyed. About seven metres north identifies yet another, with the same orientation as the previous ones, though partly severed.
All the graves have roughly the same measures, with 1.80 meters long by 0.30 meters wide.
