In the municipal term of Ribera del Fresno is located the archaeological deposit of the oppidum of Hornachuelos. Situated on a strategic elevation in the Matachel Valley, this oppidum or fortified city of the Beturia has been identified with the Fornacis mentioned by Ptolemy. It was inhabited between mid-second century B.C. and late 1st century AD.
