The giants' tomb of Barrancu Mannu, locally known as Sa fraigada, is a Nuragic monument located on a hill west of the Baccu Mannu stream, near an ancient village with defensive walls. This "row" tomb has a 20-meter apse-shaped main body with a truncated ogive burial chamber and a semicircular exedra of almost 15 meters. The façade, almost 5 meters high, preserves a cup on the architrave. The construction technique suggests a dating to the Middle Bronze Age (1400-1300 BC), in the absence of excavations.

The place is used by shepherds to rest or spend the night with their goats. It is a very beautiful rock formation and depending on the time of day the colors are breathtaking. From the rock you have a great view
