Description

Tremeca was first described by the archaeologist Roger Grosjean in his 1966 overview of prehistoric Corsican sites. [2] The ancient dolmen stands in the narrowest part of a small plateau; it is approximately hemispherical in its design, supported by four rough-hewn granite blocks capped with a slab. [2] The structure of the dolmen opens toward the southeast. [1] Its design is rudimentary when compared to menhirs and other nearby structures. [2]

The region has not been extensively excavated, with one of the few nearby megalithic sites being that of Monte Lazzo. [3]
