Manuel Calado is the go-to archaeologist for everything concerning Barrocal. His doctoral thesis analyzed the menhirs of central Alentejo and, in the estate, he excavated and restored the Barrocal menhir – the largest of its kind in this archaeologically remarkable region. In his survey, he unearthed a series of settlement sites of a range of ages, including a Roman dam and villa.
