Fiorosu giants’ grave
Fiorosu giants’ grave is between the biggest ones, for its dimensions, all over Sardinia. Built at about 300 metres from Fiorosu nuraghe, it was marked and studied only by professor Lillina Fiori in her graduation thesis on the Academic Year 1965-1966.
The scholar refers to the building as quite big: misura complessivamente m 22; l’esedra ha una lunghezza di corda di m 18 e rimangono quasi tutti i massi, piantati a coltello, alcuni molto alti (m 1,80×0,80×0,50), altri meno.
Il corridoio funebre č lungo metri 16, alto metri 1,30 largo metri 1,40; č coperto da lastroni orizzontali: uno di essi manca e permette di vedere l’interno della tomba, la cui sezione č rettangolare; altri che hanno le seguenti dimensioni: m 2,50 × 1,70 × 0,40 – 2,10 × 1,80 × 0,30 per il resto i massi sono ricoperti da terriccio[i].
[i] it is 22 metres as a whole; the circle is 18 metres long and almost all the boulders, shoved in the earth like knifes, are left, some of them quite tall (m 1.80 x 0.80 x 0.50), some less.
The funeral passage is 16 metres long, 1.30 tall and 1.40 wide; it is covered by horizontal stone blocks: one of them has been removed and shows the inner grave, whose section is rectangular; one can see other ones, whose dimensions are: 2.50 x 1.70 x 0.40 – 2.10 x 1.80 x 0.30, the rest of the stones is covered with loam.
