| Description POSI | Series of about 10 ruined rectangular structures, house platforms and rubble piles. Very little pottery, as very overgrown: about 5 pieces, all of Med-Mod red ware. Discovered 16 July 01 by spotting spur, exploring it, and spotting the rubble piles. The next day Panayiotis Alexandrou Loppas gave MJG instructions on how to get there, including this info: the church was Ayios Yeoryios, and can still be seen with its apse; the village was called Vouni (the same name is on the cadastral). 16 July 2001. Ruinous structures to east and west of road along top of spur. 1 well defined, 2-room, out-lying structure to west of road. Also to west of road terracing below structural remains. One or two river boulders that didn't get onto spur on their own. One piece of red jasper, several copper rich rocks. Drawing No. ERC-01-01. 8 July 2002 |
| Condition | Very ruinous and heavily lichenated (including the lime-green Rizocarpin tinei). cf. Mavrovounos in SCSP area (floruit 16c, abandoned 17c). |
