Scope and Contents

This wall, proximate to the modern village of Mari in Lakonia, is described in Wace, A. J. B., & Hasluck, F. W. (1908). Laconia: II. Topography. The Annual of the British School at Athens, 15, 158–176, p. 166, "Mari. A wall of large rough blocks encircles the top of the hill which is not very broad; on the north-west the wall has three courses still standing, and is about 1-80 metres thick. On the north-east the wall has five courses of roughly squared blocks irregularly laid, and is over three metres thick, and there seem to be traces of a gate".
