A large dusty mound located close to the road which runs along the north side of the Ramses Drain. The low parts of the mound at the north and SW have been cut for fish-farms; at the south and SE are fields with crops. The mound has a high central part surrounded by extensive low and sandy areas, particularly wide at the west. The surface is covered with fired bricks, ceramic slag and fragments of glass. There are a few pieces of limestone and quartzite. Very few traces of building-lines are visible, only a few rectangular shapes on the low ground at the north were noted. Nothing earlier than the Graeco Roman Period was seen. Surface sherds were rarely visible owing to the deep and soft dust. Egypt Exploration Society Delta Survey no. 167.
