The 2006 excavations saw the continuation of research in Area VII (situated in the area of the eastern entrance to the fortified settlement which developed on the south plateau immediately below the tower). Excavation was extended to both the interior and exterior of a rectangular structure of Roman date, situated across the curtain wall, and all of the curtain wall was exposed between Area Vii and Area II. The tower (Area I) was not excavated in this season as the local administration is shortly to begin work on the consolidation and restoration of the archaeological remains, starting in this area.

The excavations in Area VII defined the chronology and construction methods for the rectangular structure, which seemed to have been built in the Augustan period, at the same time as the village was enlarged and reorganised. In fact, Area II (quadrangular structure abutting the south-eastern corner of the curtain wall) and Area VI (paved structure relating to phase IV) were also restructured at this time and the entire enclosure was reinforced. Moreover, the structure positioned across the curtain wall was protected by the construction of another more external curtain, which started in Area II and surrounded the village further to the east. The internal wall of this structure was seen to be the continuation of the pre-Roman enclosure, probably linked to the earlier walls that emerged outside the western side. Pottery dating to circa the 5th century B.C. was recovered from the levels within the structure.
