Work on the site began in 2013, continuing in 2014 and 2015. The excavations uncovered a complex building arranged around a central open space, including a large vat lined with opus signinum. The latter, almost 2 m deep, was filled with rubble and pottery, constituting important evidence for the occupation and abandonment phases of the complex.

The well-preserved structures were constituted by mud brick walls built on a tile footing and cobblestone foundations. The roof collapse of tiles and imbrices was identified and partially excavated. Based on the excavation data, the complex is datable to the Republican period (3rd century B.C.), with numerous phases of reconstruction and enlargement. The complex can also be linked with a road, which from the hinterland (the nearby municipium of Suasa?) could have crossed the river Cesano at this point (in correspondence with the ancient church of Santa Maria in Portuno).
