The excavation brought to light the remains of a walled building, with foundations of trachyte stone blocks, walls of unbaked clay and tiled roof, which occupied almost the entire area between two of the ditches that drained the ancient settlement. Four of these canals were found, all orientated on a north/south alignment, circa 1.50m wide and placed 10m apart. The building was 9m long on the west/east side (where there was probably a portico facing onto the canal), and 9m long (perhaps 13m) on the north/south side, where there may have been a courtyard. All the walls seem to have been demolished. Two occupation phases were identified, alternating with phases of abandonment. In the first phase the larger structure was built with stone foundations, beaten floors and drainage ditches. This was followed by destruction, perhaps by fire although charcoal and burnt clay finds were modest, the dismantling of the walls, the recovery and re-use of building materials and careful levelling and compacting of the whole area. In the second phase, the drainage ditch to the east was restored to use suggesting the area was perhaps re-used for agricultural purposes. In the western sector of the trench there was a small building, with very insubstantial walls and a hearth. Subsequently, the site was definitively abandoned. There was a lack of material which provided absolute dating. The numerous fragments of painted Attic pottery (mainly kylikes) suggest the structures were contemporary with those investigated in previous campaigns and dated between 500 B.C. and the late 4th century B.C.
