It belongs to the Castro culture , the most emblematic and visited the Galician castros. In several of the stones from the mountain are petroglyphs made 2,000 years before the occupation of the fort.

From that moment a slow process of abandonment began, that could well have been interrupted with temporary sporadic reoccupations in late-Roman times.
