Tomba di Giganti

|
The tomba of Santu Bainzu has an impressive stele, or central stone, standing 3.2 metres tall and just over 2m wide. It's relief carved, as we'd seen at Coddu Vecchju and Li Lolghi, but this time with the addition of a large cupmark above the portal (the portal being approx 30cm tall by 50cm wide).
Not much remains of the esedra, and the low lying stones were partically hidden in the long grass and wild flowers.
The funerary space can be clearly identified at the rear of the stele; of the cist, about 6m x 1m remains, though the origial construction is thought to have been almost 14m long.This post appears as part of the weblog entry Second Sardinian Adventure - Day 1 |
