The tomb of giants of Pascareddha is located in an oak forest, at the northern slopes of Monte di Deu, in the internal Gallura, in northeastern Sardinia. It is one of the most interesting monuments in the territory of Calangianus. It belongs to the typology of burials with rows of arched stele. The burial partially retains the rectangular and apse-shaped tomb body, built with granite blocks arranged in regular rows. The rectangular funerary corridor has walls constructed at the base with granite slabs set like knives; on these rest rows of blocks in slight overhang. Today, 12 transverse slabs remain of the flat-topped cover. The hemicycle of the exedra consists of orthostats – 10 on the left side and 6 on the right side – decreasing in height from the center towards the sides. The slabs have a well-finished visible surface. At the center of the exedra was placed the bilithic stele, of which today only the lower part (height 2.10 m) is preserved “in situ.” The slab features the usual raised frame and, at the center, the curved entrance door. Fragments of the upper arched part are now scattered around the burial. The tomb can be dated to the Middle Bronze Age, Recent Bronze Age.
