The site is located on a hilltop, with natural conditions that permit its defence.

The area is populated by a necropolis of various rectangular burial mounds and tholos (with chambers and corridors).
Some include false copulas and lateral niches, with several architectural techniques employed in their construction.

Due to its monumental character, Tholos 7 (which was built in the third millennium) constitutes an undeniable histo-cultural and scientific centre of the site, including its quantity of artifacts unearthed.
The cairn beehive tomb, is built from a mound of stones around a tholos, with an underlying corridor and vaulted chamber (or crypt).
Its base consists of schist and is duplicated in a wall the surrounds the structure, forming a pathway.
Its diameter is 27 metres (89 ft), with an east-facing entrance-way located in the middle.
Access to the main chamber is through the eastward-facing corridor, covered in large slabs of limestone that oriented to narrowly focus access to the crypt.
This space is covered by a slab of limestone, and lies in the geometrical center of the tomb.
