Set of cave graves located in granite outcrops in the surrounding area of the chapel of Santo Amaro, in Donões. The graves are arranged in two groups, North and South side of the chapel. To the North there are two anthropomorphic graves, one of them partially destroyed and the other with 1.76 meters long and 0.43 meters in maximum width. On the South side of the chapel are four more anthropomorphic graves, all of them excavated in granitic outcrop, all with the same size, about 1.82 meters, by 0.50 metres width of shoulders. One of them is perfectly visible a rim all the way around, where possibly would fit the lid.
