Modern Description: The hill directly W of Vari and S of the road from Athens can be considered the acropolis of Anagyrous. Its peak is fortified by a low rubble wall; within this enclosure at the summit are traces of a building and perhaps an altar. (Also a post-classical horos inscription cut in the rock). The fort was occupied at least in the 5th c. B.C., and would have made an excellent signaling station. (C.W.J. ELIOT)
