Abstract
O sítio de São Pedro de Matos, que foi primeiramente dado a conhecer por José Coelho, é constituído por diversos vestígios arqueológicos: um recinto fortificado medieval, um abrigo natural sob rocha, as ruínas de uma aldeia hoje abandonada, um lagar rupestre e fragmentos de vários sarcófagos que estariam associados à igreja dedicada a S. Pedro. Esta igreja e a respetiva necrópole localizavam-se entre o recinto fortificado e as ruínas da aldeia, mas foram totalmente destruídas nos finais do século XX. Em 2013 realizaram-se sondagens arqueológicas no recinto fortificado e na área junto ao abrigo, e efetuou-se o levantamento topográfico do complexo. Os resultados são reduzidos e apontam
para um uso esporádico do recinto, muito provavelmente nos séculos X e/ou XI, já que as escassas cerâmicas ali recolhidas apontam para esta cronologia.
The site of São Pedro de Matos, firstly published by José Coelho, is constituted by diverse archaeological remains: a Medieval fortified enclosure, a natural rock-shelter, the ruins of an abandoned village, a rupestrial mill and several fragments of sarcophagi originally associated to the church, which was dedicated to Saint Peter (“São Pedro”, hence the place name). This church and its cemetery were located between the fortified enclosure and the village ruins but were completely destroyed by the end of the 20th century. In 2013 archaeological tests were made in the fortified enclosure and in the area next to the shelter.
A topographic survey of the entire complex was also carried out. Results are scant and point to an occasional use of the enclosure only, likely in the 10th and/or 11th centuries, a chronology suggested by the typology of the potsherds that were found.
