The investigation undertaken on the site of the Messapian-Roman settlement of Pozzo Seccato uncovered a residential complex consisting of a large square building. The foundations were constructed of large, very regular blocks of local limestone and the walls were in part blocks and in part dry-stone construction.

An open area excavation was undertaken on the area occupied by the building, although it is still to be completed. Numerous rooms were brought to light, some with the remains of limestone slab pavements, amongst which a kitchen, several open rooms and a reception room were identified. Another large room, separate from the main building was uncovered in the north-western corner of the complex, up against the fortified walls. Of the latter, the northern arm was completely uncovered on the interior side and all of the eastern arm (of which for the most part only the external facing remains). This was an imposing structure consisting of a dry stone wall with a facing of large squared limestone blocks.
