Spanish term or phrase: duares

Fmom a text on human influence on a territory (northern Morocco)

Los asentamientos urbanos concentran los elementos patrimoniales más significativos, aunque existen ejemplos de hábitat disperso que responden a distintos usos del territorio, productivos o simbólicos (cortijos, aldeas, moravitos, ermitas, duares,
cementerios)

"Moravitos" I assume should be "morabitos" - "marabouts" - I'm guessing it refers to their tombs which you see a lot of in Morocco
