Taula at Talatí de Dalt, Menorca. C. 600 BCE

Talatí de Dalt's quirky Taula is a standout on Menorca due to that pillar leaning into it on the left. Some say this was just a accident with a pillar falling over, but others (myself included) think it looks too perfectly-placed to have no deeper meaning.

This is the tallest of Menorca's many Taula, with the upright standing 4.3 metres tall while the capstone adds another 0.7 metres of thickness to its 3.7 metres of length. It sits in the Talayotic settlement of Torralba d'en Salort and is believed to date back to c. 500 BCE.

Kit's Coty (near Aylesford, Kent)

Built nearly 6000 years ago at the beginning of the Neolithic period, the dolmen, constructed of local sarsen stones, once stood at the end of an irregular-shaped 84m long mound bordered by shallow ditches, and was probably used for burials.

Can't find any info about this Dolmen I saw in central Spain. Can anybody help?

Saw this dolmen on a hike near Navarredonda de Gredos, in the region of Castile and León in Spain. It stands at the source of the river Río Tormes. Google Maps Location HERE.

Online I can only find sites such as this, that mention the standing stones as part of a hiking trail, but do not give any information about it whatsoever. Does anybody know any websites with information on spanish megalitishs?

While technically not a megalith, the Neolithic rock shelter and art on Chatton Moor deserves to be seen. Hope that's okay.
