A small hill in Aliaguilla, covering around 0.61 hectares, which its inhabitants enclosed with ditches to the north-east and south-west, leaving it defended by a cliff to the north-west. Surface survey recovered little material: pottery from the Mature Iberian period, other handmade pottery and late Roman and medieval Islamic pieces. The neighbouring oppidum of Plaza de Sobrarias uses the same defensive approach on a larger scale.
It has not been excavated: what is known comes from survey.
