The walls enclose the Ark which was the original settlement dated to around 500 BC but is now largely a rubble mound although extensive rebuilding of some structures over the entire history of the site and some modern restoration has occurred. These include the entrance gate and adjacent walls and the infamous Zindon underground prison pit featured in the October 1996 photo opposite.
