As the bastioned stone fortification seen elsewhere on the s. and e. sides of the fort is not available at this spot a cutting was made across the s. defences near its s.-e. corner. Here also three Pds have been met with. Pd I, a 3 m thick deposit over the natural soil, has yielded the NBPW with a few rubble walls and a double row of storage jars in the upper layers. A remarkable find is a carved steatite plaque in three vertical compartments, each with a couple in archaic style. Over the debris is the mud rampart of Pd II which in turn supports the stone fortification of Pd III.
