Stratum III (Area B). Remains of a building (5.1 × 5.5 m; Fig. 2) were discovered. These included three walls (width 0.7 m), arranged in a U-shape, which were built of travertine fieldstones and preserved a single course high. The entire length of the southwestern side of the building was open. The walls were founded on a floor of tamped earth, in which a few potsherds from the Iron Age and Hellenistic period were mixed. The floor was founded on sterile agricultural soil. A layer of soil that contained a few potsherds from the Iron Age and the Persian and Hellenistic periods was discovered on the floor.
 
Stratum II (Area C). Remains of a rectangular fort (6.7 × 8.9 m; Fig. 3), which was divided in the center by a partition wall into two similar units, were discovered. The outer walls (width 0.9 m) were built of basalt fieldstones set on sterile soil and preserved two courses high. The partition wall, built in a similar manner, was preserved three courses high. The walls of the fort were preserved to a uniform level below that of the floor. The upper part of the walls was probably built of mud bricks that did not survive. The remains of the fort were covered with soil that contained a few potsherds and two coins that dated to the Late Roman period.
 
Stratum I (Area A). Remains of two adjacent buildings (A, B; Fig. 4) were discovered. The northern building (A; 4.0 × 7.3 m; Fig. 5) included three walls (width 0.65–0.90 m) arranged in U-shape that were built of basalt and travertine fieldstones and preserved a single high. The whole length of the building’s southern side was open. The floor consisted of tamped earth and was founded on sterile soil. A soft limestone that had a shallow round depression in its center was exposed above the northwestern corner of the floor. A round installation that was built of small fieldstones and probably served to stand a ceramic jar was discerned in the northeastern corner of the floor. A layer of soil that superposed the floor contained potsherds from the Byzantine period. The southern building (B; 3.8 × 4.5 m; Fig. 6) comprised two parallel walls (each 0 .7 m wide), preserved a single course high, which were built of basalt and travertine fieldstones. Two engaged pillars were incorporated in the eastern wall of the building. The tamped-earth floor was overlaid with a layer of soil that contained a few potsherds from the Byzantine period.
