NAGGAREIN, T.  [487]


Two adjacent mounds in reclaimed land. Visited by J and P Spencer in 1997. Visible traces of buried brick walls, surface Roman sherds and red bricks. Probably once part of nearby T. Ibwan (Delta Survey 547), a short distance to the west. See the satellite image on the record for Tell Ibwan, where Tell Naggarein is also visible.

Access to the site (best) by new road along S side of El-Salam canal from Damietta, then off to the right down a steep dirt-track to a dirt road which leads directly to the site.
