The only voice comment says jokingly "here we can see that Basques already had steel beams in the Neolithic".
Follows translation of the Spanish language description at the blog:

This Megalithic monument, made up of 11 stones and placed in the Egilatz neighborhood of the village of San Millán, was discovered in 1830-31, what, together with the finding of the Arrizabalaga dolmen meant the beginning of the research of Basque Prehistory.
When it was found, the mound with a diameter of some 60 m. and some 4m. tall covered all the chamber. The chamber is made of 10 large slabs that hold the capstone. The entrance gallery, which measured 6 m., was destroyed in 1832. In the digs (1832-45, 1925, 1965) many human remains were found both in the chamber as in the gallery.
The last dig was made by José Miguel Barandiaran in 1965 and since that date it was decided to leave the dolmen visible from the nearby road. For that half mound was removed.
