52.2, 52a.2 and 52b.2: Illustrated by Lamarmora and Mackenzie who saw it almost intact, at least in the plan profile and defined by Pinza as “the facade of the most beautiful giant’s tomb known in Sardinia”, the giant’s tomb of Imbertighe, in Borore, is now reduced to just the arched stele and the wings of the exedra made up of three rows of stones.
Also in Borore, the tomb Perda Longa ‘e Figu, of dolmenic type and oriented along the West-East axis, retains only the burial chamber and part of the exedra with the large arched stele, while the external profile of the tomb and therefore its thickness cannot be traced. It was noted by Lamarmora, who documented in the Atlas the already broken stele, as it appears today.
Located a short distance from the rural church of S. Gavino and about a hundred meters northwest of Nuraghe Toscono, with which it had a close cultural relationship, the tomb of Santu Bainzu, in Borore, is of dolmenic type with a monolithic arched stele, oriented along the southeast-northwest axis and with an entrance to the southeast. It was recorded by Lamarmora when it still presented in situ the orthostats of the exedra.
