Caixa de Rotllan

The Caixa de Rotllan is made of three upright stones in a H-shape, supporting a thick roofing stone and delimiting a rectangular, medium-sized chamber [1]. The entrance faces south-east [1]. The building has been listed as a Monument historique since 1889 but has never been excavated by archaeologists [1]. The Caixa de Rotllan is one of 148 dolmens listed in the Pyrénées-Orientales department [1]. Like most of the dolmens in the Pyrénées-Orientales, the Caixa de Rotllan has a simple plan — that is, without a corridor — which relates it to other dolmens from the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age of the second half of the third millennium BC [1]. During the Middle Ages it marked the boundary between Arles and Montbolo [1].
