Los Cabozos (Cabazos) son los horreos de la parte más occidental de Asturias. Es una construcción anexa a la vivenda donde se madura el grano (trigo y maiz) o se curan los productos de la matanza. Están realizados en madera y piedra, de planta rectangular y sostenidos en los laterales por dos muros de piedra. En el Concejo hay dos tipos de Cabozos:
El Cabozo tipo Mondoñedo: de un solo piso y cerradas las fachadas en madera. Es el más habitual.
El Cabozo tipo Ribadeo: de dos o tres pisos y cerrado en manpostería con ventanas en alguno de sus laterales.
En el Concejo hay 156 Cabozos de los que solo 3 son de tipo Ribadeo.

Las Minas

- Mines
There are remains in the Oscos region that tell us that mining was an activity that was developed in the area since prehistoric times. Before the conquest of the Romans, the inhabitants of this region were already looking for gold nuggets in the river placers. But it was after the arrival of the Romans that this industry was boosted. In the Flavian period, at the beginning of the first century A.D., a first golden age was experienced. The castros (fortified settlements) resurged as a result of the exploitations and the landscape was dotted with small industries of which there are still remains such as: forges, function furnaces and samples of the technology that was used for the exploitation of the deposit.
