Some accept that the town's location is on a hill called Nevestiki (39°19′54″N 23°03′10″E / 39.3316°N 23.0527°E / 39.3316; 23.0527), near the current village of Ano Lechonia,[8][9] where remains of a fortification have been found, but that location has been suggested by others as the site of Coracae.[10]
