Castro of Borneiro, Archaeological hillfort in Cabana de Bergantiños, Spain.

The Castro of Borneiro consists of 36 excavated structures spread across 90 by 55 meters, protected by defensive walls and a moat.

The settlement was inhabited from the 4th century BC to the 1st century BC, becoming the first Galician castro dated through Carbon-14 analysis.

The circular and rectangular dwellings found at the site demonstrate the architectural methods and living patterns of the Celtic Castro culture.

The archaeological site stands at 198 meters elevation and can be reached via the AC-430 road connecting Ponteceso and Baio.

The extra-mural district contains a large oblong residence, two fountains with drainage systems, and a circular oven that originally featured a dome.
