Las Cogotas

Las Cogotas is an Iron Age hillfort near Cardeñosa in the province of Ávila, Spain, and one of the main oppida of the Vettones. Excavated by Juan Cabré from 1927, it had two walled enclosures, a large cremation cemetery and stone boar sculptures. It gave its name to the Cogotas I and Cogotas II archaeological cultures of the Spanish Meseta.
