Going up the S. Leonardo River with an inter-country road, about 3 km from the sea, you will find a slightly protruding rocky outcrop on the left in the Borgo Scuro district. At the foot of this, a clandestine excavation has revealed a section of an anthropozoic deposit,
of about 1,50 m, extremely poor, probably from the final Paleolithic. To the left of the excavation, on the wall at the height of the ground level, I identified a small group of linear engravings.
