Hillfort in Galicia

There is a well preserved 'village' of stone huts and enclosures on the hill to the right of the AC430/431, north of Borneiro. Only a couple of miles from the Dolmen Dombate. This is about 6 miles south of Ponteceso in Galicia. There is an unmarked flinty track leading off the road at an oblique angle. Follow it for about half a mile. There is a large single rampart and a stone gateway to the north. About a dozen constructions. Very evocative site.
