| Description POSI | Ruined church with half of apse clearly visible, and three very rough lines of rubble indicating position of walls. Clearly very small. Tile fragments (Med-Mod lugged church tile). No obvious pottery, but ground very obscured by pine needles. Rubble and tile scattered down steep hillslope to NE. Aspri is very central in the view (similarly, the church would have been very obvious from Aspri). Hence its position just off the spur? Though this also puts it clearly into Ayios Yeoryios Kafkallou territory, as the ridgeline is the boundary. Clearly long ruined; very plausible that it is contemporary with Aspri. |
| Condition | Linear rubble piles marking wall lines; half of apse preserves the face. |
