The pre-Roman Castro of La Mesa de Miranda was discovered at the beginning of the 20th century. In it, various archaeological interventions have been carried out that have allowed us to know its necropolis, with the excavation of 2,230 tombs, its defensive system and strategy and some aspects of its urban organization.

It is 2 km. from the historic center of Chamartín, along a path that can be accessed by vehicles, although it is advisable to do so by walking through a landscape of centuries-old holm oaks. It has been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, with the category of Archaeological Zone.

It was inhabited by the pre-Roman Vetón people between the V-IV and II-I centuries BC, ending its occupation as a consequence of the Romanization of the lands of the peninsular interior. It consists of three fortified enclosures annexed to each other in an area of 30 ha and a necropolis close to the enclosures.
