The Cape of Stillo site near by the ancient site of Butrint comprises an incomplete rectangular stone-built enclosure situated around the rim of a pronounced knoll at Shën Koll’s (St. Nicholas) hillside. Several sections of wall, built of rough limestone blocks, survive to a height of up to 1.50 m. In the 2006 season a number of small trenches in the interior adjacent to the southern wall were opened. Also one trench was sited within a potential structure and a second in proximity to a possible gate. Along with two ceramic beads and a flint hammer-stone, the excavations produced a quite remarkable assemblage of several thousand pottery shreds, some of which confirmed Bronze and Iron Age settlement of the site.
The site may have possessed a dual function, serving both as a secure base or refuge for pastoralists and their flocks and perhaps as a watch-station or signalling point to Bronze Age Butrint, Kalivo and Corfu.
