Contrada Torres
On the hilly relief, in its south-eastern portion and at an altitude of 641 m, it was not possible to find the remains of the necropolis that had previously been reported. They were the remains of some tombs dug into the rock, referable to late ancient times. Unfortunately, due to the creation of a
new road to improve the connections to the municipal landfill, we proceeded to the reckless elimination of a portion of marly rock (at an altitude of 630 m), in which the presence of other tombs had previously been reported, also referable to age late ancient.
