Geography and Environment:
Destruction Details: A modern cemetery sits at the hilltop and a newly constructed highway runs along the western base of the hill right along the coast. A modern village today sits at base of the northern and eastern slopes of the hill. A recently planted orchard and other agricultural fields can be seen to the south / southeast portion of the hill with a garbage dump directly to the south. Tall dense, grasses and brambles together with recent agricultural activities created especially poor visibility conditions over the entire site in 2009 [Killebrew 2010:42].
