Celtic hill-forts, funeral monuments or “mámoas”&Dolmens.
The area of land of the present council of A Pobra do Caramiñal was already populated during the pre-historic period, before the arrival of the Romans. Many traces that proved the existence of those early settlements were destroyed by the overpopulation of these coastal areas. In contrast, inland areas preserve many valuable remains, for instance, the funeral monuments or “mámoas” in the places of Cruz de Moldes and Lesón.
A dolmen from the megalithic culture is preserved at the Sierra, in Casarota do Fuxiño. A Pobra also has traces from the Celtic culture or “Castrexa” in the Celtic defensive constructions found in Punta Oseira and in Posmarcos; both places have not undergone any archaeological project of excavation:
Sectión of Defensive Wall - Hill on which settled the Celtic hill-fort
the Celtic hill-fort a Croa.
