Notes:
 Abandoned Islamic village clustered around a large stone, atop which sits a lookout (A-25). Mud brick on stone foundations throughout. Inscription (I-34) scratched into the stone. About 30 houses, tightly clustered. Town layout and streets evident. Some houses appear to have been abandoned this century, others appear much older. Building foundations form a dyke along the east and northeast side of the town. At the southern edge of the town stands a large building (A-26).

Sherds are Islamic.

Inscription is pre-Islamic, but it may well precede the rest of the site.
