Sorginetxe, Prehistoric dolmen in Arrizala, Spain.
Five massive limestone slabs reaching 2.3 meters in height form the burial chamber of this Neolithic structure near Agurain/Salvatierra.
Discovered in 1831, the dolmen dates back to 2,500 BC and contains archaeological evidence of ancient shepherd communities in the Basque Country.
