The Cromlechs of Errenga (Basque Erenga) are two groups of previously a total of 10 stone circles , which are located in the northwestern foothills of the 794 m high Errenga in the north of the province of Navarra , between Oiartzun (Spanish Oyarzun ) and Lesaka (Spanish Lesaca ), on the border to the Basque Country , in Spain . Eight circles have been preserved. The stone circles were discovered in 1909 by P. Soraluce, who carried out an excavation with T. de Aranzadi in 1915.
