Abstract

Cromeleque da Portela de Mogos, Évora District, Évora. Scanned by Global Digital Heritage in April, 2019. Processed from 97 Faro scans and 3918 photographs in Reality Capture. "Within the enclosure can be detected a line formed by five monoliths which marks the north-south axis; one of them is central and has larger dimensions. On the eastern side, there are six menhirs forming an alignment. The menhirs, carved from granodiorite and, in general roughly shaped, present a varied morphology, some having been decorated with motifs, engraved or in relief, namely circles, wavy lines, cup-marks and crozier shapes. Others were leveled during the Late Neolithic period, fixed in a stellar form, and decorated with anthropomorphized compositions in relief, where a face and a half-moon collar can be discerned. ... it was built and used during the Middle and Late Neolithic periods (5th and 4th millennia BC)."
