Modern Description: A steep climb .5 km up a faint trail from a roadside shrine of the Koimesis Theotokou on the pass N. of Psatha is repaid by stunning views from the tower site. A few foundation blocks in situ of a 6-m diameter round tower stand on the summit of a prominent outcropping (ca. 524 m). On the slopes are many tumbled ashlars from the tower. A rubble wall runs along the ridge, and several ancient buildings were W of the tower on the lower slopes. Rooftiles, some pottery. Probably late 4th or early 3rd c. (J. Ober, AJA 87.3 (1983)) Called Mallia Psatha in Ober, called Gouri in 2018 Anavasi Mt. Kithairon/Pateras map.
