Driving from Al-Shobak to Dana on The Kings Highway along the endless plowed cereal fields of Edom,we decided to drive off road direction North East towards prominent volcanic hill.
On the way we noticed a site- Basalt stones in circles and other architecture.



We decided to stop and survey the site.We found stone circles,standing stones,chalcolithic and Edomite pot shards and flint.
The site is about 150x50 M' ,on a bank of a wadi ,probably a tributary of wadi Dana.
