While some certainly had a defensive purpose, the use of others is not clearly understood. Some believe them to have served the purpose of lookout or signalling towers, as on Menorca, where they form a network. These monuments pre-date the taulas, which are usually found nearby.Talayots on Minorca were much less prone to weathering as were the ones found on Majorca.
