El lugar fue reconocido como poblado fortificado en 1969 por José Manuel González quien lo registró con la denominación de “El Castro”. Se localiza a una altitud de 230-250 m sobre el nivel del mar y se extiende sobre una superficie próxima a las 2 Ha. Es, por tanto, uno de los mayores castros catalogados en las tierras interiores del Navia-Eo.

El castro estuvo delimitado hacia el norte por un profundo foso rebajado en la roca con escarpes que superaban los 4 m de profundidad y 6 m de amplitud.

Las excavaciones arqueológicas se iniciaron en julio de 2000 como parte de las actividades programas en el Plan Arqueológico de la Cuenca del Navia-Eo. Hasta el momento se han exhumado en distinto grado hasta una docena de edificios organizados, una sauna castreña, varios tramos de calles y de fortificaciones correspondientes a diferentes épocas del poblado.

Cuenta con visitas guiadas durante los meses de verano, Semana Santa y algunas otras fechas señalas. Para más información dirigirse a la oficina de turismo de Taramundi.

The castros are population centers of an eminently strategic and defensive nature. They are found throughout the northwest of the peninsula (castreña culture). These settlements arise in the transition from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age, reaching its peak during the Second Iron Age.
The town of Vegadeo has the peculiarity of being crossed by two rivers: the Monjardín and the Suarón, which have twelve bridges that cross them (six each). Taking advantage of this circumstance, the idea was that visitors to Vegadeo could get to know the town center by crossing these bridges, and enriching the visit with a sculpture on each of them.
The Mazonovo Mallet is located about 3 km from Santa Eulalia. It is a 17th century mallet active in the 21st century. This set is restored and rehabilitated in its integrity for the understanding of the iron industry. The building of the mallet stands out for being in a state in which it has not suffered great modifications with the passage of time. Here you can forge your own nail and take it as a souvenir.
