The second excavation campaign revealed new aspects of the settlement’s topography. Excavations continued in the two sectors denominated A and B, which were extended.

Sector A, situated in the central area of the excavation, was extended to the north. A number of walls were identified, built in small, medium, and large local sandstone blocks and belonging to a quadrangular structure (room E) which was part of a larger complex. The room was next to room A with which it shared one of the perimeter walls. A blocked opening was found in the internal facing of the north wall, evidence of a change in the room’s function. The excavation of this room is to be completed.

Sector B, in the southern part of the excavation was extended to the north. In this sector, room C was excavated down to the level of a floor surface of very compact beaten clay. In the northern part of the room, up against the threshold, a structure of small and middle-sized sandstone blocks, about 0.4 m high, was uncovered. This was probably a step leading into the room itself. In the southern part of the room, up against the perimeter wall, which here also constitutes the settlement’s perimeter, there was a structure of medium to large sandstone blocks (about 0.6 m high). Two parallel vertical grooves (about 0.17 m wide) ran down the front, perhaps slots into which wooden elements would have been fitted. It is suggested that this may have been a “walkway” abutting the perimeter wall of the castrum, as part of the defences.

In this sector, several walls built of small to large local sandstone blocks belonging to an irregularly shaped room (room F) were exposed. The removal of the layers within it produced a large quantity of pottery fragments (about 8000), together with numerous metal and glass finds, and fragments of animal and human bone. There was a large blocked opening in the inner facing of the west wall, perhaps indicating a change in the room’s use.

A preliminary study of the pottery finds again confirmed that the site was occupied during the period attested in the written sources, between the full medieval and the Renaissance periods. A preliminary analysis of the artefacts defined a chronological seriation, which made it possible to associate the finds with the various structures identified.
