This site lies to the north of No. 286 (Nuss el-Kebir) and can be seen from it. The site is around 400m (north to south) by 400m (east to west) and up to 6m high. It consists of a flat outer area, slightly raised above the level of the surrounding fields, with a mound area in the centre. There is a high southern mound sloping down to the north where it forms a low ridge at the north end of the site. The centre, however, has been dug out and now forms a significant hollow in the site (making it rather like a ring doughnut formation). This evidently fills with rainwater, but in our summer visit it had dried out, leaving dry cracked mud behind. On the north ridge there are clear house plans and our Inspector cleaned a corner of one of these which contained a small lekythos type vessel and large bronze coin (face corroded) ? both were handed over to the local Inspector.
