In the south part rescue excavations were carried out in the years 1985-1992. The work was published in an exemplary way by a team led by Rudolf Zwahlen. Remains were found of some wooden houses, built along a road at the south end of the site (locality Vorderberg). A smithy and a metal workshop could be identified.
Reconstruction drawing of some of the wooden houses. Zwahlen et al. 1995, Abb. 108.
In the second and third century the wooden houses were gradually replaced by buildings made of stone and half-timbered. Tanners were active now. The buildings were given up in the middle of the third century.
