This is a boulder burial, that is a burial place topped by a massive stone, a boulder.
This massive stone is almost spherical, with a diameter of about 1 metre, placed on a low mound and surrounded by 10 small stones not higher than 30 centimetres and on a diameter of 2 metres that form the kerb for the mound.
The big stone has a protuberance, like a nose, towards southwest (230°).
