It can be either, but more likely it will have an object and be a preposition. If there is a reason to omit the noun (what it is beneath) then technically it is an adverb.

They found a cave beneath the hill. (preposition)

When they dug around the hill, they found the cave beneath. (adverb)

* It is much more common for the synonym 'underneath' to be used as a standalone adverb.
