These excavations were undertaken due to the robbing of Etruscan burials in the area, the results of which were seen during the first inspection of the zone.

Work concentrated on a chamber tomb (n. 1), cut into the natural tufa rock preceded by a deep dromos. Grave robbers had only dug into in the area of the chamber entrance. The antique fill contained fragments of black gloss, depurated and coarse plain ware, banded painted pottery, as well as a bronze mirror handle decorated at the top with three palm leaves on an Ionic capital and at the bottom with a deer head. The lower door slab was lying flat in front of the entrance. The chamber had an irregular plan with a central passage, flanked on the right by a deep niche with two sarcophagi and on the left by a bench, followed by a second niche with sarcophagus and space for another deposition. There was a narrow bench up against the curved back wall.

The lids of the right-hand sarcophagi (nos. 1, 2) had been removed from their original position (one of the simple ridge type and one with columen and volutes on the short sides). They contained fragments of bronze wire and the skeletal remains. The coffin of the left-hand sarcophagus (n. 3) was damaged and the lid (simple ridge type) lay overturned to one side. The disturbed earth produced fragments of black gloss and depurated plain pottery and bronze vessels. A small plate of plain ware pottery, an iron strigil, and an intact black gloss bowl were found close to sarcophagus 3. Below the upside down lid of sarcophagus 2 lay a black gloss cup with everted rim and a plain ware alabastron, both intact, an iron strigil fragment, as well as a bronze mirror with the shank and disc fused as one piece. When cleaned, it was seen to be decorated with an incised scene showing a deer suckling the baby Telephus in the presence of five divinities, two male and three female, standing in front of a temple on whose pediment was a reclining male figure.
