It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a plain green field.

Shield Argent, a bunch of bullrushes (Port: atabua) Vert seeded Gules and Or tied Azure, the whole superimposed by a duck passant Proper. Mural crown with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials: "S. MARCOS DA ATABOEIRA".
Meaning:
The bulrushes probably refer to the commune's name and maybe thus canting.
