The segment of the Cyclopean wall which was named 'Ro' by Broneer (Mycenaean Atlas Project: C7760) has been relocated by my colleague, Peter Barkevics. Its coordinates are 37.913475° N, 23.003006° E. It sits at an elevation of 27 m and is about 125 m. in a straight line on a bearing, from St, of ~273.1°. It sits on an open hillside about 20 m. above a large private home with a gray ('blue' in the photo) roof. Here is a picture of the situation.

Next is Barkevics' photograph of Ro looking directly east and downhill towards the house with the gray roof (which appears to be blue under open sky light) (37.913466° N, 23.003295° E).

In this picture the view is directly E; the house with the blue roof is clearly seen. On the left hand side can be seen the four projecting stones of Broneer's 'tower'. The other flanking stones are to the right. Compare this photograph to Broneer's drawing:

In this photograph the four projecting stones are now on the right. The large anchor stone visible in Broneer's drawing is at the lower left.
That anchor stone is also clear in this next photo which looks at the east end of this segment while facing south. Here the two east-side projecting stones (the 'tower') are on the right and stretching out towards the viewer.
