Apparently this is a small site of the Epipalolítica time (late Paleolithic after the glaciations, the current geological era known as the Holocene), a rarity since it is almost unique in the interior of Spain. The main finding it is a dried clay structure to be smoothed with a circle of three feet in diameter and surrounded by a semicircle of stone, around which organic remains have been discovered.
