This paper presents five new possible fortified settlements recently identified using remote sensing techniques in modern day province of Soria: La Vega and La Magdalena (Quintanas de Gormaz), La Llana-Caño (Bayubas de Abajo), Vega Fría (Berlanga de Duero) and Las Pozas (Aldealafuente). The morpho-typological characteristics and settlement patterns allow us to hypothesize that these are the remains of Roman temporary military sites. The exhaustive analysis of these new archaeological data could have considerable relevance for studying the expansion of the Roman state in this region during the Late Republic (2nd to 1st c. BC).
