Castros
1,128 sites recorded, with photos, maps and visitor reports
Castros are a kind of settlement relatively common in northwestern Spain, composed of a fortified area (quite similar to the Irish or Scottish Stone Forts, but slightly bigger in area) with a multitude of stone round huts inside it. In some later castros the Roman influence may be seen in rectangular/square buildings within the settlement. In Portugal is a type of ancient construction called Chafurdão. It is a type of round house built in stone, very similar with the Iron Age houses of the castros. The big difference is that these constructions usually stand alone. These kind of monuments are found most of the time surrounded by stone walls, and some are strangely very close with rock cut graves. Some theorists believe they are related but it's almost impossible to prove that relationship.
