Located in the hamlet of Curvite, close to Sobrado, the Boulder of Vegide (or Moorish Tank, as it is more commonly known in the region) consists of two anthropomorphic rectangular graves carved in the granite outcrop; they were placed in a somewhat prominent position within the landscape and close to ancient paths. Showing different sizes, both graves have an area that was especially designed to work as a headrest of the people who were buried in them, as well as transverse grooves carved in their bases, especially in the larger grave.
