Olipix visited on 22nd Apr 2024 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 5 Access: 2 Small stone circle in the middle of nowhere. The walk to visit the site is long but superb. The view from the site is exceptional (Saint-Jean-de-Luz coast and Rhune mountain). There is another stone circle (bigger) a few meters away.
