Giants' tombs in Sardinia were usually built near a village or a residential settlement with nuraghe whose funerary needs they fulfilled.
The Moru tomb is located near the Albucciu nuraghe (close to town of Arzachena) to which it was relevant.
It is an example of a megalithic collective burial from the Nuragic Age and dates back to Middle Bronze (18-16 century BC) in its first construction phase, up to recent Bronze (around the 13th century BC).
This tomb consists of a rectangular burial chamber (11.5 m long and 5.20 m wide).
It was intended to house the buried dead, placed inside from above, removing one of the tabular plates (which originally covered it, today only one remains).
The Moru tomb was discovered in 1988 during work to expand the country road that runs along it.
The Giants' graves were the collective tombs from the Bronze Age and can be found throughout Sardinia, with 800 being discovered by now.
