Modern Description: The site is a fenced corner corner lot (SE) on the road leading SW from Alepochori. Nothing much is visible from outside, but in 2019 a clear and useful informational sign in Greek and English, posted by the Ephoreia of West Attiki, gave a plan and photos of the dig. A small square oikos and a pair of pits full of offerings. A sample of ceramic finds from Bouri are on display at the Megara museum, out of thousands of small jugs and figurines, mostly of the late 6th c. BCE, found in this Archaic sanctuary.
