This and other dolmens in the area are clear testimony to the importance of the Fitor megalithic area, dating from the late Neolithic to the Chalcolithic (2500 BC to 1800 BC).

Specifically, the Tres Caires dolmen is made up of slate slabs arranged horizontally and vertically, and it preserves six of these slabs, including the roof.

In addition to this dolmen, you can find within a radius of less than 500 meters the dolmens of Tres Peus and Serra de Calç or the dolmen of Las Maries.

It served as a collective tomb, where burials and funeral rituals of the first agricultural and livestock communities of the region were carried out.
It is a covered gallery dolmen, typical of the Neolithic period (approximately between 2700-2200 BC).
It is made up of large stone slabs (orthostats) that delimit the burial chamber. Although it is currently in a state of partial deterioration, three of its main slabs are still preserved, which gives it the name of "Tres Caires" (Three Sides).
The slabs are made of slate, a material abundant in the Gavarres area.
