Two walls and a story of wolves
Vive Cabeceiras · Vilar de Cunhas · património do pastoreio

The fire of Uz witnesses ancient forms of defensive hunting.

The inventory identifies a V-wall trap in Vilar de Cunhas. The date of construction remains uncertain: it discusses hypotheses between the Modern Era and the 19th century. One detail distinguishes it from other fires: one of the walls rises towards the well. The reading of digits on a slab is also uncertain, between 1668 and 1868. Doubt helps to understand why inventory does not set a single date.
