Abstract
Este artículo presenta el yacimiento inédito de A Serra da Casiña (Valboa, León). Este recinto se localiza en las montañas que separan las actuales provincias de Lugo y León, en las inmediaciones de la ruta natural de comunicación a través del puerto de Pedrafita do Cebreiro. Se describen las estructuras observadas en la serie histórica de ortofotografías, en los datos LiDAR disponibles para el área, además de la inspección del enclave sobre el terreno. Las características formales del sitio y su localización responden a los parámetros propios de los campamentos de marcha (castra aestiua) del ejército romano. Finalmente, se realiza una breve contextualización del establecimiento militar considerando los yacimientos análogos conocidos en su entorno.
This paper presents the unknown archaeological site of A Serra da Casiña (Valboa, León). This enclosure is located in the mountainous area between the provinces of Lugo and León, close to the natural route across the mountain pass of Pedrafita do Cebreiro. The structures were studied through several historical orthophotos, LiDAR visualizations from raw data available for this region, and the archaeological field surveying of the site. Both the morphological characteristics and the location of A Serra da Casiña fit with the specific parameters of Roman marching camps (castra aestiua). Finally, we discuss the historical contextualization of this military establishment considering the presence in the nearby of analogous sites.
