 The stone structure and rampart are part of a fortification placed on the southern end of the site, overlooking the Huleh Valley and the main north-south road that passed alongside it on the west.The exact date of the tower and rampart cannot yet be determined, as no floors associated with them have been revealed to date.Against the northern face of the fortification are elements dating to the Late Bronze Age I-II, so that it the fortification should most likely be dated to the Middle Bronze II, though a more precise chronology cannot be fixed yet.
