It is a megalithic monument that has been classified as a cist and, at other times, as a corridor dolmen.
It is at an elevation of 370 meters and the construction measures about 2.25 meters in length and 1.55 meters in width, and occupies an area of 3 square meters. The chamber is polygonal and the entrance faces southwest.
The dolmen was discovered in 1929 and excavated for the first time by Josep Colominas the following year. Later, in the 1950s, Josep Estrada carried out new archaeological excavations there, in which he found some ceramic fragments. This same researcher chiseled and straightened some of the slabs of the monument, and moved them from their original place.
