This paper presents the results of archive and field investigations allowing us to reconstruct the architectural features, construction, basic dimensions, building stages, archaeological, chronological and cultural contexts of the unique multisided dolmen with a pyramidal (domed) roof, excavated by Nikolay Lvovich Kamenev in 1869 in North-Western Caucasus near the stanitsa (Cossack village) of Tsarskaya (modern Novosvobodnaya).
