The excavations exposed a stratigraphic sequence on the eastern side of the earthwork constituting the edge of the archaeological area. Fragments of bucchero pottery dated occupation of the summit to between the end of the 7th century and the first half of the 6th century B.C. Also on this side, a row of post-holes, lying beneath the Hellenistic levels, attested the existence of an earlier structure, whose use is unknown (perhaps cult). On the western side, the investigation of a stretch of the defensive wall uncovered the remains of an opening, about 2 m wide, interpreted at the moment as the entrance to the Hellenistic complex.
