North of the Nitovikla fortress is the necropolis of Paleoskoutella on a hill close to the road. A large tumulus dominated the necropolis and was surrounded by smaller ones. Probably the necropolis had contained about 20 tombs, but some had almost vanished.
SCE came here in the autumn of 1929 and excavated seven of the tumuli. The tombs date from Middle Cypriot III (1725–1600 B.C.). The type with a tumulus and a hilltop position is actually rather unusual for Bronze Age necropolises in Cyprus.
