The Cabezo Pardo site is located at 59 m above sea level, on a prominent elevation of the group known as Cabezos de los Ojales - a place name undoubtedly derived from the various springs known in the area since ancient times and most of which were still active until recently - whose summits now form the dividing line between the municipalities of San Isidro and Granja de Rocamora, in Alicante.
