Eteneta menhir
The Eteneta menhir ( Basque Etenetako Zutarria ) is a Neolithic or Bronze Age menhir located a few hundred meters east of Andoain in the immediate vicinity of two Iron Age Cromlechs south of the Adarramendi mountain (Adarra for short) in the province of Gipuzkoa (Guipúzcoa) in the Basque Country Autonomous Region is located in Spain .
The slender menhir made of sandstone has a total length of around 3.0 m. The visible part measures more than 2.0 m. The larger cromlech is about 4.5 m in diameter and stones up to a maximum height of 0.45 m. The Eteneta menhir is apparently part of the stone circle. The other cromlech is 2.7 m in diameter and consists of 24 stones that are less than 0.37 m.
The cromlechs and the menhir were discovered by Luis Peña Basurto and K. Mariezurrentena.
