PETROGLIFOS: Se trata de un conjunto de ocho rocas próximas entre sí en las que están grabadas unas 150 insculturas, la mayor parte de ellas en forma de cruz. Este punto se conoce como Laxe das Brañas y está a unos 300 metros del lugar de Carballa. Se interpretan como símbolos de cristianización de un primitivo lugar de culto.
