Description POSI Located by ESG during field survey. West of Ayios Theodoros Pano Atsa TP241 on sidehill. TP255 consists of 4 rooms with some attached and others not. Sructure is stone socle with only 3 feet at the most still standing. No mud brick is present. Possible stairs or collapse of mudbrick. In general the area is very overgrown. Area to the northwest is currently under olive cultivation and it appears that the structures will not be preserved for long. Likely that much of the structure has been disturbed by cultivation and road building. Possible enclosure - only 3 of 4 walls still preserved. Overall the complex is quite large. Believed by locals to be a mandra called Mandra tou Araklethi (Mr Christostomos). Complex is located on a path that links foothills to the forest. The remains of an oven are located to the south of these structures.
Condition Fair. Overgrown and slowly being bulldozed away by forestry road and nearby farm.
