This site was noted in 1898 as being very large, but it is now reduced to a high core of mud-brick walls and fill, with a lower surrounding area. Some of the fill lies at about 45 degrees and consists of ancient rubbish-dumps. Core covers about 150 x 150m and rises 10m, periphery only 1-2m. There are two main high mounds linked by a narrow ridge. Few glass fragments, small potsherds on SE mound of Late Period and Graeco-Roman, many small shells. No red bricks. Part of S edge dug out for a fish-farm. Egypt Exploration Society Delta Survey no. 322.
