Some of the chamber pillars still exist (although some are damaged), whereas the corridor does not (it would have been around 2.4m long). There are still traces of the tumulus around the pillars. The excavation revealed a great deal of disruption in the contexts, subject to plundering over time, as well as remains of votive materials and broken human bones. Among the materials are arrowheads, blade segments, fragments of ceramic containers, necklace beads and slate slabs with geometric decoration.

Like many dolmens in Alentejo, this one underwent profuse looting over time. The disruption of the archaeological remains decontextualized, mixed and fragmented the votive materials recovered in the excavations, making it difficult to understand and interpret the funerary depositions. It is a recurring situation in many megalithic monuments. In this instance, besides the internal disruptions, it had pillars cut or removed, probably to be reused in other constructions, and its dolmen destroyed to obtain more agricultural land.

Archaeological excavation carried out by German archaeologists Vera and Georg Leisner in the mid-20th century.
