Despite Franco's dictatorship, he continued his research in the archaeology and prehistory department of the Instituto Padre Sarmiento. This mainly focussed on prehistory and archaeology in Galicia, though it did also extend to epigraphy, numismatics and ethnography. His main scholarly works were Bibliografia da prehistoria galega (Bibliography of Galician Prehistory), Prehistoria y Folclore de Barbanza (Prehistory and Folklore of Barbanza) and La civilización neo-eneolítica gallega (The Galician Neo-Chalcolithic Civilization).
He also studied the bibliography of Galician writers, especially his articles on Rosalía de Castro. He wrote poetry as the creator of Neotrovadorism, a trend later followed by Álvaro Cunqueiro and Álvarez Blázquez.
In 1992 the Galician Literature Day was dedicated to him[1] which was celebrated in Cortegada, where he was buried after dying in Santiago de Compostela.
