Modern Description:
Another small "ancient acropolis," also on Mt. Stavrokoraki, was noted by G. Soteriades, Πρακτικά, 1935, pp. 141-147, 149, fig. 18. The site stands on the southern end of the low spur (Repki, height 116 on Karten von Attika, Bl. XIX) which extends toward the Marathonian plain at the southwest of the main mass of Mt. Stavrokoraki. The south and west sides of the level peak area (ca. 30 m. north-south and ca. 40 m. east-west) are enclosed by a well built rubble wall, ca. 1.50 m. thick. The wall is built like a terrace wall against the higher ground behind it, so that while its front face rises to a height of ca. 1.40 m., at the rear its top is at ground level. A free-standing wall, ca. 1.30 m. thick and preserved to a height of ca. 1.00 m., runs along the eastern side of the peak area; a similar, but less well preserved wall runs along the north; and another bisects the area from east to west. These walls, though also of rubble, contain a considerable quantity of tile fragments as well as fieldstone; in this they differ markedly from the other walls described in this study. At the northwest of the peak area traces of the rubble foundations of a rectangular building are visible, and elsewhere piles of stone may show the locations of other structures. A marble stele with two rosettes (noted by Soteriades, pp. 143-144) and a marble basin lie on the surface, and sherds attest occupation in Classical and Roman times. Though the site itself is perhaps suited to military purposes, commanding, as it does, a view of much of the Marathonian plain (but not of Trikorynthos or the area northeast of it), the walls are unlike the fortifications included in this study both in their construction and in their placement, and the remains appear to the writer more like those of a small temenos or shrine.
