The results of thirty years of excavation at the sanctuary  where in the first century AD a small temple was built, at first  circular, but later rebuilt in octagonal form with greater  architectural pretensions. Also discovered were various  associated buildings-a priest's house, a hostelry, a shop and  domestic buildings-designed to serve the inhabitants of the  sanctuary and worshipping visitors. Inscriptions and sculptures  testify to a cult of Apollo and other associated deities.
