| It is situated in Dörtagaç of Ömeroba Village in central Edirne. It was identified by E. Beksaç in 2006. Both two parts of the ruined complex lost their cover stones, the frontal separators were collapsed, and the stone plates in between those were broken. The system in general consists of a large and a small dolmen, the larger one consists of a trapezoid formed rear section narrowing in southeast direction, another section in front of this and a dromos. The stones that formed the front section collapsed and broken and the dromos was completely destroyed. Besides, the northwest stone plate was moved inside and the side stone plates project outwards in northwest direction. The dolmen reminds other dolmens near Begliktas rock formation in Malko Trnova over Yildiz Daglari in Bulgaria. The dolmen was formed pointing in southeast direction [Beksaç 2008: 73-74]. |
