A breve distanza si è rinvenuto un interessante louterion acromo (frammenti della stesso tipo con decorazioni a linee incise e a zig-zag erano stati rinvenuti in questa stessa area durante le ricognizioni preliminari), sotto il quale si sono raccolte ossa combuste di animali, tra i quali è stato possibile determinare una seconda falange di bue, una porzione distale di omero ed un astragalo di ovicaprino, una valva di conchiglia (Glycimeris sp.), una patera con relativo coperchio acromi e un balsamario acromo con coperchio a vernice nera.

The dry-wall made of local calcareous stone with regular shape, is correlated with some materials, probably votive and pertinent to an open-air cult. In fact, along its Eastern side, a black paint patera with Oscan graffito and, next to it, an iron fibula badly preserved with pendants constituted of two bronze rings and 4 vitreous-pulp grains, have been found. At a short distance, an interesting achromatic louterion (fragments of the same kind decorated with engraved and zigzag lines were found in the same area during the preliminary reconnaissance), above which burnt bones of animals were collected, among them it was possible to identify a second phalange of ox, a distal portion of humerus and an astragalus of goatish ovine, a valve of shell (Glycimeris sp.), a patera with relative achromatic cap and a vase with a black paint cap. Ashes and big pieces of coal were found out. From the same area come a black paint guttus of miniature (diameter 5, cm.; 3,5 cm. high) and other ceramic material of the 3rd-4th century B.C., which seems to testimony the presence of an open-air place of cult.
