Abstract
This research deals with the archaeological and historical study of the fortified enclave of andalusian origin known as ‘Torre de Haches’ (Bogarra, Albacete) in the Sierra de Alcaraz. It is a defensive system comprising a lower masonry wall, surrounding a half-height hill, and a rectangular tower made of tapial. An exhaustive documentation study has been carried out on the construction characteristics of this defensive system, firstly to understand its morphology and construction techniques, and secondly to generate a comparative framework that will allow us to insert the tower into larger territorial systems. For these reasons, an intensive survey of the surrounding territory was carried out in order to get to know the enclave, carry out an exhaustive study of the preserved structures, study the ceramic material on the surface and approach the nearby territory to understand its agricultural potential or territorial control.
