7,500-year-old Spanish 'Stonehenge' discovered on future avocado farm

Aug 30, 2022

It's one of Europe's largest Neolithic standing stone complexes.

Archaeologists have unearthed one of Europe's largest Neolithic standing stone complexes near the city of Huelva in southwestern Spain, ahead of plans to grow avocados there.

The oldest upright stones — called "menhirs" in many parts of Europe, possibly from a Celtic word for "stone" — could be up to 7,500 years old, and the entire complex consists of thousands of individual stones spread out over 1,500 acres (600 hectares) of the sides and top of a small hill.

Some of the largest stones stand alone, but others were positioned to form tombs, mounds, stone circles, enclosures and linear rows. The diversity of the structures is part of the puzzle of the site.
