Castro de Irueña, Iron Age hillfort in Fuenteguinaldo, Spain.
The archaeological site stands at the confluence of the Agueda River and Rolloso Stream, surrounded by slate masonry walls extending two kilometers.
The Vettones, Celtic people of the Iberian Peninsula, built and inhabited this fortified settlement during the Second Iron Age period.
The site contains a zoomorphic sculpture initially thought to represent a mare but later identified as a bovine figure typical of Vettonian culture.
The archaeological site maintains regular visiting hours and offers parking facilities, with recommended access through the municipality of Fuenteguinaldo.
Modern LiDAR technology and geographic information systems have revealed previously unknown internal structures and settlement patterns within the ancient fortress.
