Modern Description: Blomley 2022 #29 On the summit and S slope of a hill c. 2000m N of modern Iliokastro, a fortified settlement 1.8ha. Masonry: carefully fitted coursed trapezoidal with rough surfaces and vertically drafted corners. A limestone outcrop in the N forms the highest point of the site. From this outcrop, two curtain walls in coursed trapezoidal masonry run to the SW and SE. Several trapezoidal blocks in the foundations of a modern building to the S may form part of the site’s S curtain wall, but it is unclear if the blocks are in situ. Towers: There are remains of two rectangular towers in the SW and the SE corners of the circuit. Both are constructed in trapezoidal masonry with vertically drafted corners, but are currently very overgrown. Internal structures: Numerous foundations of buildings and an ancient well were recorded inside the circuit. The buildings follow an orthogonal grid plan.
