The quarry contained 1.4x1.7m blocks. The fill included sherds of large vessels (amphorae, lekanes, beehives, and a few small drinking vessels and other household wares) dating to the fourth century BC. In a trench between two blocks was a hoard of 47 fourth-century Attic bronze coins. A marble head of a female figure was found. 60m east of the quarry was a cistern in the fill of which were sherds of the third and second centuries BC. (R. Pitt, CdF)
