The excavations undertaken between 2014 and 2016 concentrated on sector D, where excavations also took place in the 1990s (largely unpublished). It is a particularly complex area, badly disturbed by cuts and dumps relating to agricultural work on the plateau, however it is of fundamental importance as it puts the occupation phases of the Late Bronze Age in relation with the better-known ones of the later Iron Age.

The most interesting new evidence emerged from the removal of the fill relating to what were interpreted as two possible walls belonging to a sunken dwelling of the ‘Retic’ type. Further investigation revealed the presence of a fill containing a collapse of stones several tens of centimetres in size and two more walls attributable to a small additional room or perhaps an entrance, given its stepped formation. So far, the interior floor surface has not been reached and therefore the function of the excavated room could not be ascertained.

Situated in the north-western corner of the excavation area, in close association with the room/steps there were also two structures forming a double alignment of parallel stones filled with dumped material, small clasts and boulders/stones in collapse. Although only a short section of the alignment was exposed, the most likely interpretation is that it was a structure constituted by a first ancient terrace wall, in relation to which the sunken dwelling was built, and by a later wall to reinforce the terrace, positioned opposite the earlier one to function as a containing wall. This preliminary interpretation seems supported by the use of more squared and regular larger clasts in the lower wall, built directly on top of what is interpreted as a gravel floor surface contemporary with the dwelling’s final occupation phase.

Excavations also took place in the southern part of the sector, which is of particular interest for exploring the relationship between the better-known later Iron Age phase and the layers attributable to the Late Bronze Age. An alignment of small carefully selected stone slabs, perhaps forming a floor surface, was exposed in a cut into the Final Bronze Age deposit. The elements were not completely uncovered, but the material is similar to the small calcareous slabs used in the construction of the little ovens found in sector C1, although from the point of view of shape and dimensions the structures are different. The layer above the slabs was characterised by a dark organic matrix containing numerous small pieces of charcoal and anthropological material. The discovery of a fragment of the foot from a firedog decorated with small incised concentric circles and a fragment of grey pottery was determinant for dating the structure to the later Iron Age.
