Abstract
La zona que en Malpartida de Cáceres se conoce como El Corchao está situada a unos dos kilómetros al sur de Malpartida de Cáceres junto al camino asfaltado que va desde la población al museo Vostell-Malpartida y al Monumento Natural de Los Barruecos. Destaca en la zona un pequeño afloramiento granítico que alberga una necrópolis tardorromana-medieval con más de treinta sepulturas excavadas en roca. Al sur del afloramiento, ocho grandes bloques graníticos conforman un círculo de piedra cuyas características coinciden con el tipo de monumento megalítico denominado crómlech, que aquí se da a conocer como tal.
El Corchao is located about two kilometers south from Malpartida de Cáceres next to the road that goes from the town to the Vostell-Malpartida museum and the Los Barruecos Natural Monument. In this place a small granite outcrop houses more than thirty roman to medieval graves excavated in rock. To the south of the outcrop, eight large granite blocks make up a stone circle that corresponds with the megalithic monument type known as cromlech.
