S’Ena ‘e Thomes

TIME : 2016/2/18 21:13:16

S'Ena 'e Thomes is a fine example of a tomba di gigante (literally ‘giant’s tomb’; ancient mass grave) built at the height of the nuraghic period. Situated 3km north of the crossroads on the the Nuoro–Orosei road, S’Ena ‘e Thomes is signposted to the right. A narrow path winds through marshy farmland to the central, oval-shaped stone stele (3.65m tall and 2.10m wide) which closes off the ancient burial chamber.
