NOTES

1. Placement of this little fort was notional. If it is on this hill at all then the error estimate of 'HU' should be adequate. This position appears to most closely correspond to what Tausend describes as 'liegt 2,5 km von Dimaina entfernt in Richtung NW eine noch nicht ergrabene mykenische Akropolis, die heute Kastraki Dimainas (133) genannt wird.', T06, p. 32

2. Possibly a Mycenaean acropolis
