Description:   Bronze-casting pit and furnace against S apse of Church (106/ΛΕ). Late Roman sherds of the 4th and the 6th c. A.D. were found with fragments of moulds from bronze casting. The west end was destroyed by the church builders. There is a tile floor set on bedrock and two brick piers of the south wall stand to a height of 1.12 m.; one scrap of the north wall establishes a width of 1.05m. Just to the east of this unit, which was probably the furnace, fragments of moulds, charcoal and sand were found on rising bedrock.
