Castro de Borneiro is give Cabana de Bergantiños, is also known by the name of A Cidá, is
located on a small stop, to about 200 ms of altitude, where the
flattened surface of A Chan de Borneiro finishes and begins a
pronounced slope towards the mouth of the Anllóns river. In order to arrive until I castrate, we can take a
footpath that leaves the bridge that are on the stream You Muíños,
or but a way that from the village of Borneiro also leads to the same
one. Castro de Borneiro, was excavated in three occasions.
First by Sebastián González Garci'a-Paz, in 1933; second
by J.J. Eiroa between 1968-1971, and the last one by Ana Romero
Masiá, throughout the Eighties. The town presents/displays an enclosure of type made oval,
protected by a wall and a pit. In the part this, outside the
enclosure, it appears a district extrawalls, in which we can see a
series of constructions. Borneiro was the first one I castrate Gallego who had a
dating of carbon 14, according to which was considered like one of the
oldest castros of Galicia; nevertheless, the following samples
gave one more a more delayed chronology. At the present time a total of 36 constructions is
excavated, which represents the three fourth parts of the surface of
the enclosure. The predominant plant in the constructions is the round
one and in no of them entrance sample is seen. All of them are
done with schists, existing material in the zone. During the excavations they appeared material very
diverse: - Stony: mills, stones to sharpen, fusaiolas, molds
of metal smelting... - Ceramic: plates, cuncas, pots, jars, all
of them very fragmented... - Metalists: needles, ring, fíbulas,
knives, daggers, sickles... more panoramas of the Region of Bergantiños >
