Annotations

Probable  "Roman villa" with mosaics or a "mansio", located on top of a hill, which is a very unprecedented situation for this type of station.

 It is quite destroyed, due to the planting of two vineyards (one on the North side and the other on the South side). In the vineyard on the north side, an "opus signinum" tank was destroyed. In the North area there are the remains of a lagoon, associated with karst phenomena, which was crossed by the Lagoa-Almogadel road.
