- four fourth-century BC pit graves containing unguentaria, plus a fifth of the end of the fifth century containing a bronze mirror, alabastron, pyxis, eight lekythoi and a skyphos;
- three robbed cist graves;
- a damaged sandstone urn with its marble top;
- a damaged enchytrismos in a hydria

A pyre cut into the earth was surrounded by traces of burning, fragments of burnt wood, bones and white-ground lekythos sherds. Geometric sherds were collected from the deepest fills.
