Naveta

A naveta (also known as funerary naveta or burial naveta) is a form of megalithic chamber tomb unique to the Balearic island of Menorca. They were built during the Bronze Age, between the Pre-Talayotic period and the beginning of the Talayotic period. Despite their resemblance to residential navetas, they served a very different function and do not share an entirely synchronous chronology.

The largest example is the Naveta d'Es Tudons which is around 4m high, 14m long and 6.4m wide.

The first author who wrote about these structures was Juan Ramis in his book Celtic antiquities on the island of Menorca, which was edited in 1818, it being the first book in the Spanish language entirely devoted to prehistory.
