During the autumn of 2008, a magnetic and georeferenced intensive survey was carried out with the objective of determining the use of the site in ancient times. Several objects were recovered: lead projectiles (glandes) with no inscription, Hispano-Punic and Roman Republican coins dating to late third century BC, arrowheads, pilum tips, tent pegs to tighten the guy ropes, etc. All these objects fully testify to Roman military presence in this site during the Republican period. It is worth emphasizing that this military complex does not seem to have been subject to siege on the part of Hispanic indigenous communities.
