Later, the village of Peñalba de Castro was built, which received the meseta of the enclave of Clunia in exchange for water in a time when the value of water was more valuable than the few ruins not yet buried that remained of the abandoned Roman city.
Con posterioridade, construíuse a poboación de Peñalba de Castro que recibiu a meseta do enclave de Clunia a cambio de auga nunha época onde o valor da auga era maior que os poucos restos aínda non enterrados que quedaban da abandonada cidade romana.
