Dolmen de Zaharreta 2

Dolmen de Zaharreta 2 is a megalithic archaeological site in the municipality of Baztan, in the Comunidad Foral de Navarre, Spain. It stands southeast of the village of Elizondo at an altitude of 665 m, on a hill of Monte Lizardi near Beartzun and close to Dolmen de Zaharreta 1.

The monument occupies a narrow ridge in a beech forest where ferns and moss grow. Its low stone tumulus is 7 m across, rising 1 m on the west side, 0,80 m to the north, 0,75 m to the south and 0,50 m to the east. The burial chamber retains 6 orthostats, with three arranged in a pyramid-like form.

A covering slab remains in place over the chamber, measuring 3,30 × 2 m and 0,23 m thick, and almost completely conceals it. Two further slabs lie on the southwestern edge of the tumulus. The site has been associated with the Neolithic, Copper Age and Bronze Age, and is estimated by typology to date from 4000 BCE to 3000 BCE.

The dolmen was discovered in 1971 by Francisco Ondarra Erdocia, and no excavation has been carried out. It forms part of the Alba-Kinto megalithic area. Monuments of this kind in Spain include many megalithic tombs, but the specific burials contained in Dolmen de Zaharreta 2 remain unknown because it has not been excavated.
