Dolmens are places of collective burial and were already looted in Roman times. This dolmenic complex has great historical importance and is made up of El Casetón de los Moros (Arrabalde), El Tesoro (Morales del Rey), San Adrián and las Peñezuelas (Granucillo), the latter declared a Site of Cultural Interest, and all of them form part of the Route through the Valleys of Zamora, Vidriales, Órbigo and Eria.

The construction of large monumental tombs that characterize Megalithism is located at an advanced time in the Neolithic period, remaining as funerary reference points long after this period ended –Ages of Copper and Bronze–. In these funerary structures, the burial of individuals from the same group was carried out, accompanied by a trousseau made up of elements of carved stone, worked bone and sometimes ceramics. The chronology of these megaliths would be between the end of the 4th millennium and the beginning of the 3rd millennium B.C.
