Miron / Cerro de El Mirón

A communication on the archaeological prospections on the site from the Diputacion de Avila [http://www.celtiberia.net/verlugar.asp?id=493] [accessed 17 March 2010] notes: "Época alto-medieval, con los restos de la Iglesia, que podría clasificarse como mozárabe, con nave de planta cuadrada y ábside cuadrado. A los pies de la nave, entre ésta y los restos del muro oeste, se encuentra, lo que con total seguridad fue la pila bautismal." [=Early-medieval period, remains of a church that could be described as Mozarabic, square plant with square apse. At the west end of the nave, near the west wall, is what must surely be the baptismal font]. The object is round and much weathered now, with a hole on the side, which may point to either a fountain, or, if it was indeed a font, a re-use as a water-trough or similar function.
