Chronology
1st or 2nd century B.C
This site has two enclosures with a small croa protected on its perimeter by a parapet and surrounded by another line of defence (croa is the upper enclosure).
The enclosure is unexcavated, as it is occupied by terraces with farmland.
Its location allowed the control of the Corcubión estuary, a large part of the Cee valley and a large part of the coast up to Cape Fisterra.
