The La Torre-La Janera megalithic site is located in the municipalities of Ayamonte and Villablanca in the province of Huelva, Andalusia [1]. It was discovered in 2018 when a farmer intended to prepare the land to cultivate avocados and in view of the archaeological potential of the site the local council demanded a survey to be made [1]. The megaliths are in about 90 hectares that are part of a 600 hectare large rural estate [1]. So far, 526 standing stones were revealed during the survey, either still standing or lying on the surface [1].
