o "Santuário rupestre de Argeriz" (ou "Pias dos Mouros", como é vulgarmente conhecido no seio das populações locais este tipo de arqueosítio) encontra-se de modo relativamente isolado numa plataforma granítica situada num declive suave sobranceiro a um afluente do rib.ºde Alfonge.
Provavelmente edificado durante o período romano, o pequeno santuário rupestre parece revelar algumas semelhanças estruturais com o "Santuário de Panóias", visível, aliás, do cimo de Argeriz, tal como sucede com o sítio de "Gravuras Rupestres da Mão do Homem", ambos pertencentes ao Concelho de Vila Real. Estamos, assim, perante uma realidade composta de duas cavidades rectangulares dispostas paralelamente (com orientação Norte/Sul) no topo de um amplo afloramento granítico (mas pouco saliente da superfície do solo), às quais acedem dois conjuntos equidistantes de degraus afeiçoados no próprio granito, orientados no sentido Este/Oeste. E é ainda neste local que nos deparamos com a existência de entalhes provavelmente destinados a alicerçar uma qualquer estrutura, certamente de carácter perecível.
Nas imediações deste arqueosítio foram de igual modo identificados alguns fragmentos de cerâmica comum e material de construção, cuja análise parece confirmar a atribuição cronológica do santuário ao período romano. Além disso, uma das faces laterais da rocha exibe uma inscrição, eventualmente latina, apesar do avançado estado de erosão que apresenta, mas onde parece ler-se a expressão "APADAV", que não será, no entanto, suficiente para retirar qualquer ilação do ponto de vista, quer religioso, quer jurídico, mesmo que alguns indícios pareçam sugerir que a ara consagrada aos Lares identificada em Argeriz pertenceria a este sítio.
