The site is samnite settlement characterized by the presence of polygonal town walls, with three gates. The enclosed area covers almost 50 hectares. The area covered by archaeological investigation relates to a part of the settlement where a building on a platform, also of polygonal construction, came to light. The platform measures 8.25×16.5 metres, equal to 30×60 oscan feet. The area was completely abandoned after the Social War and a new building was constructed during the Augustan period on the remains of the settlement. Some of the outer elements of this construction have been uncovered. (Gianfranco De Benedittis)
