Шаблон:Infobox ancient site The Dolmen de la Pastora (also known as Cueva de la Pastora[1]) is a prehistoric passage grave at Valencina de la Concepción near Seville, Spain. It has been dated to the Chalcolithic Age.[1]

Description

The dolmen is under "La Pastora" mound at Valencina de la Concepción.[2] It is a 43-metre long gallery, made with drystone walls and roofed with slabs of limestone and granite.[2] The passage terminates in a circular funeral chamber with a diameter of 2.5 metres, roofed with a single granite capstone.[2] The passage is orientated towards the sunset, unlike other similar tombs in the region which tend to face towards sunrise.[2]

Excavations in the slope of the tumulus in 1860 yielded 27 copper arrow heads of the "javelin type".[3]
