It is a cave formed by two large blocks of granite on top of which rests another block that acts as a cover, with two chambers distributed on two different levels. The lower chamber is composed of a stone of two sides, quadrangular, which was located in the center. No materials were found in this room. In the upper chamber, three burials were found with badly decomposed bones. Ceramic fragments were found in all of them.

In the first there was a flint knife, an arrowhead of the same material with a peduncle, and a plate of light green diorite (143 x 55 x 7 mm.). In the second burial, two flint knives, a flint arrowhead and a rectangular light green diorite plate (78 x 37 x 8 mm.) were found in the third, a flint knife and arrow. When sifting the soil inside the cave, four flint arrowheads, a piece of greenish-colored silicate perforated round necklace, and two flint knife fragments were exhumed. It seems that cardiac material was also found in this coat.

Therefore it can be said that it is a collective sepulchral crypt from the end of the Chalcolithic and the beginning of the ancient bronze. It can be considered a type of burial that coexists with the final stages of the megalithic phenomenon.
