Eastern Biniac Naveta

Eastern Biniac is a Bronze Age funerary naveta on Menorca, Spain, dated to 1500-1000 BC, where collective inhumations were practised. The structure has a circular layout with walls built using Cyclopean masonry -- large unhewn stones fitted without mortar -- a technique common across Menorca's prehistoric monuments. It is classified as an "intermediate naveta," potentially representing a transitional form between earlier megalithic tombs and later elongated navetas. Archaeologist Maria Luisa Serra Belabre conducted a brief excavation in the 1960s, but no archaeological remains were recovered from the chamber, as centuries of reuse as a cattle shelter had removed all interior sediment.
