Elevation:

Notes:
 Small Islamic village. 5 houses, mud brick with stone foundations. Also, 1 cairn and 1 stone ring that may belong to S-54 (which is only 100m away). Most mud brick gone from the smallest houses. Largest house (A-21) has large, cut, stone foundation blocks and shows signs of multiple phases. Looks to me like A-21 is built upon the foundations of a Pre-Islamic structure (possibly a temple). The foundations of one of the smaller structures are upright stones, indicating probable reuse of a Neolithic/Bronze Age structure.
