Mokoa dolmen
The dolmen of Mokoa (also called Mokua Trikuharria) is located south of Urrugne ( Basque : Urruña ) near Hendaye in the western Pyrenees in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department in France .
The north-east-south-west oriented chamber of the "Dolmen von Mokoa" called stone box ( French Coffre dolménique ) lies in the middle of an eroded tumulus of about 8.0 m and 0.7 m high. It is surrounded by a curb circle made up of eleven blocks, which is relatively rare. Only three orthostats made of sandstone have survived , delimiting a box 1.7 m long and 1.0 m wide.
Nearby are the Cromlechs of Mandale , the Mandale Tumulus and the Dolmen d'Erentzu, Galbario, Lezante Hego and Lezante Nord as well as the Menhir de Xoldokogña, all at Urrugne in the Pyrenees .
