Notes: Square stone enclosure wall around a cairn. The cairn stands over 1m tall and commands a good view of Wadi Bram below, suggesting to me that the builders of the square wall used the cairn as a way to boost their own structure. Decayed brick is evident to the outside of each wall, in lumps centered along the length of the walls. A wide doorway is evident in the northeast wall of the structure—its width, however, hints that the enclosure might be for the cairn, rather than merely making opportunistic use of it.
