The site occupies a hill near the mouth of the Marangone River between the Etruscan cities of Caere and Tarquinia. A fortification wall defended the settlement. Extensive necropoleis and sacred sites at the Punta della Vipera have been identified near the coast. From the Archaic period (6th c. B.C.), the site was located in the territory of Caere and may have played a role in controlling trade in metal ores from the Tolfa hills. Once the Roman site of Castrum Novum was established, the Etruscan site was abandoned.
