- Heritage
As Croas de Eilale es un castro situado en el concejo de Santiso d’Abres (Asturias), en un alto del monte da Vaca, a 173 metros de altitud. Se trata de un asentamiento fortificado de época prerromana, con una planta ovalada de unos 130 × 85 metros. Su sistema defensivo es muy destacado, con tres fosos, contrafosos y restos de murallas. Desde él se domina visualmente el valle del Eo, lo que le daba un valor estratégico. Se cree que estuvo vinculado a la explotación minera de hierro de la zona, especialmente a la mina de La Rebolada. Es un ejemplo de castro de montaña con función económica y defensiva. Actualmente está parcialmente cubierto por vegetación. Aunque en estado de ruina, conserva un gran interés arqueológico y patrimonial. Es uno de los castros mejor defendidos del occidente asturiano.
