this same plaque appears to have been designated as coming from Vale Rodrigo, according to Almagro Gorbea 1973, fig. 43, 80. But, in Viana 1953, shows it is from Folha da Amendoeira, fig. 21, chips off top seem to be a series of punches along the edge, also in http://www.matriznet.dgpc.pt/MatrizNet/Objectos/ObjectosConsultar.aspx?IdReg=127911&EntSep=5#gotoPosition
