It is situated on private land but you can go in. The site has some signs of excavation but there is no information. You can image ancient people settled there: safe to be protected from high water, very fertile earth, and a broad view over both sides of the river. Most probably is was inhabited in the iron age and later. From the hill you can see Moura.
