The remains of Roman urns have been discovered by workers expanding a private carpark in the area of Put Dragulina.

Workers have uncovered a large number of graves the owner immediately stopped all works upon arriving at the site, 4 stone urns and several tombstones were left intact. A glass balsamary was found in one of the urns while a bronze needle was found among the bones in the second urn. It is believed several graves were destroyed during excavation works and material was taken to a dump site due to the fact that the owner was not present when construction works started.

A total of 18 graves have been found since the archaeologists are still on location, they expect to find a few more.
