Dolmen de la Pastora

The Dolmen de la Pastora (also known as Cueva de la Pastora) is a prehistoric passage grave at Valencina de la Concepción near Seville, Spain [1]. It has been dated to the Chalcolithic Age [1]. The dolmen is under "La Pastora" mound at Valencina de la Concepción [1]. It is a 43-metre long gallery, made with drystone walls and roofed with slabs of limestone and granite [1]. The passage terminates in a circular funeral chamber with a diameter of 2.5 metres, roofed with a single granite capstone [1]. The passage is orientated towards the sunset, unlike other similar tombs in the region which tend to face towards sunrise [1]. Excavations in the slope of the tumulus in 1860 yielded 27 copper arrow heads of the "javelin type" [1].
