Also called Tell Soweida. An extensive mound with gradually sloping sides which rise to a height of about 8 metres above the cultivation. The highest part of the mound is surrounded by a wide area at a low level, bordered by fields on the north and west, and by a road on the south. The field boundaries are straight and appear to have encroached on the site. Some pieces of fired bricks and ceramic slag litter the surface. A few sherds noted were of Late Roman date, but few were visble in the powdery surface. A couple of robbers' pits in the high areas had thrown up a quantity of fired bricks.
