Sorginaren Txabola-Chabola de la Hechicera

The megalithic structure features nine large stones arranged in a polygonal chamber, with three vertical stones supporting a horizontal capstone.

Archaeological excavations in 1936 by Jose Miguel Barandiaran revealed stone tools, pottery fragments, and human remains dating from 3000-2000 BCE.

The dolmen's name, Sorginaren Txabola in Basque and Chabola de la Hechicera in Spanish, reflects the regional bilingual heritage of the area.

Visitors can find the archaeological site through an unnamed road in Elvillar, with additional historical landmarks within an 8-kilometer radius.

The restoration project between 2010 and 2014 reconstructed the burial mound using traditional stone interweaving techniques without external support structures.
