Modern Description: "Unsignposted, accessible by a good dirt road that turns N off the main road to Dimaina at a sign for Ag. Ilariona chapel. Bear NW ca 300 m, then continue straight N another 750 m when the main track turns back to the left. A faint track right through olives will lead you in two minutes to the bulldozed boulders surrounding the tower. A square structure, 2 to 3 courses of roughly-worked polygonal masonry heralded wrongly as a pyramid; about 8x8 meters. It has an identically cambered doorway block to that at the Lygourio ""pyramid."" Broken rooftiles scattered nearby and some Hellenistic domestic ware. Debunked by Spyros Pappas in archaiologia.gr
