Earlier excavation campaigns had revealed a large terrace wall of massive polygonal blocks dating to the 2nd century B.C. This delimited a large terrace partly constructed using architectural rubble from a late Hellensitic sanctuary. The terrace was shown to have an earlier phase dating to the mid Hellenistic period. It seems probable that the terrace was built to support structures that are now lost (portico?) and were part of the sanctuary. To the south a late Republican wall runs almost parallel to the polygonal terrace wall, beyond which was a cobbled area and a series of walls belonging to a Roman house; the cobbled area was covered by dumps of rubble up until the late 1st century A.D. In the Augustan period there was some reconstruction and the structure was occupied until the 2nd century A.D. One of these later structures was paved with terracotta mosaic and had painted plaster on the walls; it is possible that the zone kept its religious function during the Roman period. Excavations on the upper terraces revealed a large quantity of tile and pottery but no structures. There are clear signs of quarrying with slabs cut from the rock face; the pottery in the quarry fill suggests that quarrying was undertaken in the early 3rd century B.C. (MiBAC)
