A large, one-phase building was discovered. Its architecture is typical of the Persian period: walls made of fieldstones with regular intervals of well-dressed ashlar stones. All the pottery from the building was fragmentary, dating to the fifth century BCE. Imported vessels include Eastern Greek and Attic wares. Two heads of drinking vessels (rytha), in the shape of a ram and a lion, were found, as well as an almost intact rython with an anthropomorphic face.
