El Sotillo Trikuharria Burial Chamber, Spain (No. 1)

Like other tricularis around it, it was built at the end of the Neolithic or at the beginning of the Chalcolithic. It is part of the megalithic station of Alabar Rioja. The bodies found there have offered various results, in the field of ancient genetics.
It is a corridor-type megalithic tomb. The tomb is an oval chamber (3.30 m x 2.90 m), and has nine slabs, one of which is 2.29 meters high. The corridor (0.60 m wide, 1.30 m high) is limited by five slabs. Around the monument is a mound made of earth and small stones, with a diameter of about 18 meters. The track to get there cuts a part of the mound itself.
