At the site, located north of the Rehovot–Yavne road, fragments of poorly preserved domestic structures and various installations were observed. The architectural finds relate to three strata, dating from the Persian (Stratum III), Roman–Byzantine (Stratum II) and Byzantine–Early Islamic (Stratum I) periods. The extent of the settlement is unknown; however, based on finds from previous excavations at the site, it seems to have been a large settlement in the late Byzantine–Early Islamic periods.
