The Mámoa de Outeiro de Cavaladre is one of the most representative prehistoric funerary monuments in the municipality of Muíños and a remarkable testament to human settlement in the Baixa Limia more than five thousand years ago.
Built during the Neolithic period, it consisted of a megalithic chamber formed by large granite slabs and covered by a mound of earth and stones, making it a prominent landmark visible from a considerable distance. These monuments served not only as burial sites, but also as territorial landmarks and places of profound symbolic significance for the earliest farming communities.
Its location, carefully chosen on a small rise, provided commanding views over the surrounding landscape and reinforced the connection between its inhabitants and the land. Today, the Mámoa de Outeiro de Cavaladre is an essential site for understanding the importance of megalithic culture in southern Galicia and the extraordinary archaeological heritage of the Xurés.
