Burial site located southeast of Mount Vermion. The site was primarily used during the Archaic period (mid 6th-early 5th centuries BCE), with additional burials through the late Classical-early Hellenistic period and some additional signs of earlier human activity from the Middle Neolithic period through the Bronze Age. Rescue excavations were conducted on the site in 2000-2002 during the construction of the Egnatia Highway.
