Twenty coins were found: two of the 2nd–1st century BC – 1st century AD, 14 of the 3rd century AD, one of the beginning of the 4th century AD, one of the 6th century AD and two of the 18th – 19th centuries. Thracian and Roman sherds were also found. Two ovens, a hearth and 14 pits of the 2nd century BC – 1st century AD were explored. The finds included five amphora stamps from Rhodes, two amphora stamps from Sinope, one amphora stamp from Knidos, fibulae, terracotta spindle whorls, terracotta loom weights, fragments from glass bracelets and a hoard of 25 stone checkers for games. Part of a building of the 3rd century AD was excavated. Its walls were 55 – 60 cm wide, built of roughly-cut stones bonded with clay, and it was partly destroyed during the construction of the fortification wall. An oven and Pit No. 5 with an antonianus of Herennius Etruscus were excavated. The fortification wall of the 4th – 6th centuries AD was discovered in Trench C. The dugout of the 10th – 11th century AD, discovered in 2017, was entirely excavated.
