Low stone walls of the Cholades temples A-B at Soli stand around an excavated earthen floor. Walls of irregular stone blocks run across the middle distance, and a rectangular stone block projects near the centre. Behind them, earth banks with scattered stones rise toward the skyline, where a single tree grows on the hill.
