HAMRAT, K. EL-  [477]
 
Originally lay a short distance to the west of Tell Balsun but the area is now occupied by settlement and cultivation. Satellite imagery of 2006 shows a rectangular patch of uncultivated land, 140 x 40m, in the fields just east of a small cluster of houses. This may be the last vestige of the mound.

Visited by J Spencer and P Spencer in 1997: the area is now occupied by village and cultivation. Must once have been an outlying mound of Tell Balsun, which lies a little further to the east. The name indicates a red mound; i.e. probably coloured by Roman brick. Perhaps a Roman redevelopment of Balsun? Some pieces of stone re-used in village houses. Access via a dirt road leading south from the Dikirnis - El-Qurdi road.
