The region has undergone intensive development in recent years. Consequently, most of the remains along the survey route were presumably covered over and therefore could not be identified in the survey. Sixty sites (1–8, 10–24, 26–44, 46–63; Figs. 1–11) were documented during the survey. Some of the sites, such as the pillboxes and roads, date to the modern era, and are of historical importance; others, such as a cave, a tomb and concentrations of flint and pottery sherds, are ancient. The flint flakes and ceramic sherds were worn and could not be dated. Nevertheless, they are indicative of extensive activity along the survey route during both historic and prehistoric periods.
The modern remains included remains of Mandatory buildings (1), pillboxes (6, 18, 26, 51, 56), bridges (18, 20, 26, 30, 36–40, 44, 60), roads (2, 54) and the route of a road or roadbed built of fieldstones (7; at least 30 m long).
The ancient remains included wells (31, 55, 57, 63), rock-cuttings (23), a cave with a collapsed ceiling (24), a road (34), sherd concentrations (3–5, 8, 11, 12, 14–16, 28, 29, 32, 33, 35, 43, 48–50, 52, 53, 55, 58, 59, 61, 62) and flint concentrations (4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 27, 28, 32, 41, 43, 58). Architectural remains were identified at five sites: a building surrounded with a scatter of sherds and flint flakes (4), remains of an Ottoman structure (42), a sheikh’s tomb with a destroyed dome (53) and a group of fieldstone-built structures (46, 47). The margins of Tel Zeror (8), Tel Te’enim (22) and Horbat She’eri (53) were surveyed as well.
