Specifically, it is a tomb of mixed construction, "as it combines two types of burials," adds Eduardo Vijande. It is made up of a corridor similar to that of the dolmens, about 3 metres wide by 1.40 metres high, from which there is access to a circular chamber excavated in the rock, in the form of an artificial cave or hypogeum. A set that was covered and closed, but whose roof is going to be replaced as it is in worse condition. Inside, they have found a woman buried in an anatomical position with the remains of an interesting trousseau with shell necklace beads, colored stones and some gold stones, as well as a bone comb or lendrera, and five girls in an ossuary with the skeletal remains in a very good state of preservation, along with multiple ceramic remains. The ensemble dates from 3,800 to 4,000 BC. C.

The remains are "in very good condition, almost intact", so a Carbon-14 study will be carried out, paleogenetic studies – to determine the patterns of kinship and mobility – and isotopic studies "that will give information on how these communities lived, their diet, the type of population, etc." It is also planned to carry out archaeometric studies of the materials found to determine the geographical origin of the grave goods
