Anta dos Currais do Galhordas is a megalithic passage tomb complete with mound and a chamber of polygonal plan. The first season of excavation has identified several of the building techniques that were employed in its construction; and recovered associated artefacts such as flaked (rare) and polished stone-tools, engraved and non-engraved slate plaques, and pottery. Three vessels have been sent for content analysis by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Absolute dating is not yet available, but some of the pottery suggests that the monument was built between the end of the 4th millennium cal. BC and the beginning of the 3rd millennium cal. BC. However, an earlier chronology is also accepted. Other vases document more recent burials (Bronze age).
