The 2008 excavations on the Colle Mazéit di Verzegnis continued research in Area III (situated in the sector of the eastern entrance to the fortified settlement, which developed on the southern plateau immediately below the medieval tower). The excavation area was extended both inside and outside (south-west corner) of the rectangular structure of Roman date (probably a tower, cf. Piazza Belesini a Trento), positioned across the curtain wall built of stones. A trench was also dug between the south-eastern corner and the curtain wall that linked the structure to Area II.

The medieval tower (Area I) was not excavated, but a survey was made of the state of the research here as the first lot of consolidation and restoration work on the archaeological remains, relative to the covering of the tower, had been completed. As regards Area VII, the chronology and construction techniques used for the rectangular structure-tower had been defined in 2008. It seems to have been built in the Augustan period at the same time as a reorganisation and enlargement of the entire settlement occurred. In fact, at the same time Area II (quadrangular structure-tower abutting the south-eastern corner of the curtain wall) and Area VI (paved room relating to phase IV) were restructured and the entire enclosure was reinforced. Furthermore, in a period yet to be determined, the structure positioned across the curtain wall was protected by the construction of another, external curtain wall, which started at Area II and surrounded the village to the east. The structures internal wall was seen to be the continuation of the pre-Roman curtain wall, probably linked to the earlier walls which emerged outside the west side of the building, from whose levels Bronze Age pottery was recovered.
