Cancel Tomb No. 2

Living heritage

Funerary structure made up of roof slabs and 7 lateral volcanic rock slabs. Dimensions: 161 × 207 × 103 cm. Larger than the first, it shows the diversity in funerary practices.

The research by Professor Héctor Llanos (1984–1985) recorded a trapezoidal sarcophagus and six cancel tombs in the funerary sector of the farm. Radiocarbon dates place these burials around the 6th century AD.
