NOTES

1. Dr. Fachard suggests [2012] 213 that this may be the first cyclopean stone-work site in Euboea. He calls for further excavation in order to confirm or disprove his proposed BA dates for this little site.

2. Thought to be a fortified barrier of Cyclopean work and defending S. Euboea from attacks coming from north and west. See Fachard [2009] 919.
