Close to the modern village of Stylloi the Swedish Cyprus Expedition, led by Einar Gjerstad, excavated a necropolis.

The site was known before and Mr. Rubert Gunnis, inspector of Antiquities in Cyprus, excavated here in 1928.

The Swedish excavations commenced at the highest part of the terrace and thereafter continued on the southern slope.

[2] The tombs on the plateau, where the ground mainly consists of the local chavara, have all spacious dromoi and are from a typical point of view rather different from the ones on the southern slope.

The former is long with a more or less regularly sloping floor, in some cases stairs are preserved.
