Stratum II
Two sections of walls (W306, W309; Fig. 2) were discovered. Wall 306, oriented north–south, was built of mud-brick material and several fieldstones; a single course was exposed. Wall 309, aligned northeast-southwest and built of medium-sized fieldstones, was preserved four courses high. The two walls were severed by remains ascribed to Stratum I and by modern pits.
Based on the ceramic finds recovered from the fill near the walls (not drawn), the stratum did not postdate the Hellenistic period.
 
Stratum I
Four tombs were discovered; three were cist graves, oriented east–west (L308, L311, L313) and covered with large ashlar stones (0.14 × 0.50 × 0.53 m) and one was a pit grave (L302; Fig. 3) that had cut through W309 on the south.
The tombs could not be dated with certainty as they were not excavated; however, they greatly resemble the tombs uncovered in the adjacent Roman cemetery and the coins found near them (Table 1:3, 4; Fig. 4) are dated to the fourth century CE.

It seems that the tombs (Stratum I) were part of the Roman cemetery discovered nearby. They were dug into an earlier layer (Stratum II) that dated to the Hellenistic period; hence, the use of this region had changed throughout the ages.
