Notes:
 Site visited by me in 1994, as I was sighting from Jujah 4 to Jujah 2. Apparently a 2-period site, with one or two Pre-Islamic houses (mostly cut away by a modern field) and one Islamic farmhouse with a nearby outbuilding about 100 m NE of that. Stretching about 350 m N of the Islamic house (A-31) is a small Islamic village with about 5 houses and one well-preserved mosque (A-32). About 100 m NE of A-31 is a large, relatively recent, but abandoned well. Not certain whether A-31 and the village are contemporary.
