A late Archaic settlement located on a tuff outcrop in South Etruria, with impressive Hellenistic monumental rockcut tombs, indicating a major prominence from the fourth century BC. The site was fortified along its unprotected south side in the third century BC. There is also evidence of a relatively large Final Bronze Age settlement of nine hectares in the same area.
