This wolf den, one of the largest of its kind on the Iberian Peninsula, is believed to have been built in the 18th century and used regularly until the 1930s. A small ladder provides access.

This type of pit consists of an enclosure surrounded by a stone wall, inside which a live animal was left to attract the wolf. In this case, the loose stone wall was built around a boulder located in a highly visible location (Portela da Fairra), where a live goat was placed.
