KAPANDRITI, Kotroni Hill - 2011

Kapandriti, Kotroni Hill. A. Papadimitriou Grammenou (University of Athens) reports on excavation southwest of the walls excavated in 2009. Parts of both faces of a gate, its foundation, and two large blocks of its side wall were revealed. A set of parallel blocks at the entrance of the gate may be a flight of steps. The wall continued to the southeast, where two paving stones were uncovered, set on a stone layer.

The Archaic and Classical pottery discovered includes a black-figure sherd. A tile bore an impression of a sphinx.

A restoration project on the tower encompassed the reconstruction of a collapsed part of the fort using the original building material, the construction of an external retaining foundation of reinforced concrete, and landscaping.
