The dolmen of Ses Roques Llises, is a megalithic tomb that lies to the south of the municipal district of Alaior (Menorca), very close to the Talayotic settlement of Torre d'en Galmés.

It is a collective tomb of around 1700 before our era, corresponding to the pretalayotic period. It is formed by a rectangular funerary chamber and a narrow and narrow corridor, of which only a stone is conserved. Originally it would be covered by a tomb of earth and stones of which still is observed part of the base. The funeral chamber was accessed through an open hole in the slab forming the facade.

It was the object of an archaeological excavation in 1974 under the direction of Guillem Rosselló Bordoy and Lluís Plantalamor Massanet. There were some very degraded human bone remains, an archer's bracelet, a tip of a copper tool or tool, a pyramidal bone button, and several ceramic pieces.

It is one of the 32 prehistoric Minorcan sites that present to the candidacy of Talayotic Menorca as a World Heritage Site before UNESCO.
