Abstract
The results of trial excavations conducted in the area above the head of the Heraion Valley, Perachora, are presented. It is argued that the circular building discovered is a collecting tank for rain-water, constructed in the fifth century BC, and a strong candidate for identification as the ‘circular building’ of Xenophon Hellenika IV v, despite the fact that it is not by the lake.
