Procédese á revisión dos traballos de prospección previa na serra do Barbanza e ampliados aos montes de Macenda e Bealo na procura de asentamentos gandeiros/pastorís, no curso deses traballos localizáronse ademáis un interesante xacemento de cronoloxía calcolítca e un castro inédito. Asemade, dáse conta dos resultados das intervencións en dous xacementos, un de carácter gandeiro que presenta un palimpsesto estrutural e cronolóxico (Río Barbanza), e outro relacionado con sistemas de control territorial (Outeiro da Torre). We review the survey works carried through in the district of Barbanza, now extended to the parishes of Macenda and Bealo in search of livestock / pastoral settlements. In the course of these explorations a Copper Age site was discovered and, nearby, a previously unknown hillfort. An account is given of the results of the digging in two sites; one related to husbandry tasks, that presents a structural and chronological palimpsest (Rio Barbanza); and another more, related to territorial control systems (Outeiro da Torre).
