Portuguese term or phrase: povoados de altura
'Esta dinâmica conduz nos séculos seguintes à desestruturação do modelo imperial de ocupação do território, começando a surgir formas alternativas nos padrões de povoamento, tendendo ao final das estruturas unifamiliares e ressurgindo as concentrações comunitárias, por vezes reocupando sítios pré-romanos (O caso dos povoados fluviais, dos povoados ocultos, dos povoados de altura e das moradeiras).'

I've seen this on the internet a few times, but I don't quite understand it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!
