At Monte da Contenda a road cut through the sequence
of ditched enclosures, leaving open sections of several ditches in the
embankment. In the context of the NIA-ERA project on ditched enclosures, one of
the sections was already cleaned. It shows a ditch with about 1.3 m deep and 2
or 3 meters wide (it seems the section is someway diagonal).
Archaeological material collected during this cleaning
suggest that this particular ditch might be from middle Neolithic. Faunal
remains will be dated to confirm this chronology.
