On the plateau named "La Vie" ("To The Vineyard") were accidentally discovered ceramic fragments from the Roman period. In the autumn of the year 1999 a 2 x 2 m survey pit was made near the base of the terrace. Between the depths of 0.28 - 0.40 m were discovered fragments of terra sigillata and from other vases of the Roman period framed chronologically in the middle of the second century CE. Nearby vases appeared and fragments of tiles, shingles, bricks, animal bones (bos taurus), a fragment of coloured glass and a point of an iron needle, as well as some fragments of mediaeval ceramics. Near the place where the test pit was made, was discovered a wall which follows to be verified.
