The cromlechs
Credit
: Mendi Lagunak
Description
Funerary monument dating from the Iron Age (800 to 300 BC), the cromlechs are circles of stones driven vertically into the ground. In the centre of this burial is a chamber called a “ciste”, in which the cremated remains of the deceased were placed. The cromlechs are a true witness to the very ancient occupation of the Basque mountains. At the Mehatse pass, explanatory panels give precise information on this type of monument.
