Spain has a lot of remote rural areas. Must likely these stones were overgrown in tall grass, bushes or covered in dirt. I walk a lot in remote areas but even there it's very rare for people to leave the trails. And finally it's possible that some locals were aware of some "rocks in that field" but weren't aware of the archeological significance. Be aware that the photo in the article is not from the site in question but one in France that's much bigger and maintained.

> Be aware that the photo in the article is not from the site in question but one in France that's much bigger and maintained. I completely overlooked the text below the photo. That's on me, I guess, but it's crazy they don't have a photo of this new site in the article.

  The archaeologists' paper (in Spanish) has pictures: https://tp.revistas.csic.es/index.php/tp/article/view/881/951 https://tp.revistas.csic.es/index.php/tp/article/view/881/95...

    looking at those photos, it is entirely not obvious that these stones are placed in a pattern. some look entirely random. it's not surprising that this wasn't discovered earlier.

  I hate the trend of "we have an article, we will use a stock photo" as it catches me here and there, also.
