During work on the construction of the high speed railway (TAV), occupation was identified dating to various periods. Between the 1st century A.D. and the late antique period the zone was crossed by a road.

Alongside a road cut into the hillside in the 3rd century B.C. the remains of a sanctuary (4th-3rd century B.C.) came to light. The earliest phase was characterized by an open area with a well and a number of pits containing numerous small black glaze cups, unguentaria, fragments of choroplastics and statuettes datable to the second half of the 4th century B.C. The second phase of the sanctuary was distinguished by the construction of a structure of tufa blocks, perhaps a portico, bordering an open area in which a tank, bordered with edgewise placed tiles, had been excavated. A large quantity of pottery, coins and a cup incised with a two letter graffito dated to this period (4th century B.C.). In the third phase the courtyard was paved with opus signinum, and for this period the pits produced many fragments from choroplastics and of black glaze pottery. During the last phase, towards the second half of the 3rd century B.C., when the portico was replaced by a closed space, the building may have maintained its cult function.

An ancient cultivated ground surface with parallel furrows, obliterated by the “Flegrea B” eruption, revealed a notable quantity of terracotta and stone archaeological material, datable to the mid-late Neolithic period, related to the Serra d’Alto-Diana facies (4th millennium B.C.).

The pottery assemblage was characterised by reel handles, bowls of levigated impasto, plain ware painted with simple bands, by ribbon handles with zoomorphic projections representing domestic animals (pig) and with simple spiral projections. Lithic working was represented by an abundance of complete flint, obsidian and some jasper tools.
