The entire area is surrounded by a wall and a ditch with a diameter of 150 to 160 m. But it's nearly invisible, only a few centimeters height have survived. There are two more walls and ditches at the eastern and western side. It's estimated that the original height of the walls was 1.5 m, the ditches were 2.5 m wide and 1.2 m deep. They were not made for defence, only as bound of the holy area. The site was used from 1600 BC (Bronze Age) to 700 BC (Iron Age).
