A heavily fortified settlement site of the Copper Age Vila Nova de SAo Pedro culture on the Portugese coast north of Lisbon. The walls measure up to 17 metres in thickness and have circular towers; in the centre is a circular citadel. Sites of this sort were once thought to represent colonies from the east Mediterranean, but are now believed to have developed locally. See also Los Millares.
