A coastal fortified settlement dating to the late Bronze and early Iron Ages, known in modern times as Castro de Cociñadoiro and A Punta de Muros. The site was excavated ahead of its complete destruction in the first decade of the 21st century as part of the development of the Porto Exterior da Coruña at Punta Langosteira.
