Ancient site north of modern El-Masara, formerly called Tell Kurdud. The low, undulating mound rises gradually towards the south. Fragments from granite columns, badly weathered, perhaps from a church, lie on the ground. The site is extensive and in moderately good conditon. On the east edge is a small village with a few modern tombs at the south-east. Noted by Edgar in 1907 as having Coptic pottery, fired bricks and glass fragments on the surface. Egypt Exploration Society Delta Survey no. 307.
