Mamoas da Veiga

Set of five funerary structures par excellence, erected during the megalithism of the current Portuguese territory Northwest. The tumulus No. 1 is clearly visible in the landscape, on the left side of the road that connects the Montalegre Meixedo, beside an agricultural warehouse. Presents a "tumuli" high, with approximately 2\/3 meters, where they are clearly visible at least two mainstays. There are visible remains of lytic Cuirass, showing a large central depression. The tumulus # 2 is barely visible in the landscape, finding about 500 meters east of the tumulus to paragraph 1. Presents approximately 18.5 meters in maximum diameter, with a central depression well notorious, although they do not identify themselves mainstays to the surface. The Court carried out by road are noticeable remains of lytic Cuirass. The tumulus No. 3 features a "tumuli" high and very well maintained, located within the grounds of veiga, a few meters from the main gate. Features thirty metres in diameter and three meters high, being probably the larger tumulus and better conserved of the municipality. The tumulus # 4, situated at few meters from the tumulus nº 3, presents a "tumuli" loudly and prominently, with a central depression very sharp, and about 21 feet in diameter. There are no props to surface, or remains of lytic Cuirass. The tumulus nº 5 is totally destroyed by agricultural activities. Note, however, that the vegetation in an area of 13 meters is totally different from what grows in the surrounding area, abounding gravel, from the destruction of the "tumuli".
