The survey area was divided into 15 sub-areas. Areas 1, 3, 5 and 14 were characterized by hamra soil that was often sandy and included a few fragments of pottery vessels from the Ottoman period and the British Mandate time. Area 2 was difficult to survey because of its high vegetation cover. Areas 4, 9, 10, 12 and 15 were overlaid with large quantities of modern refuse. Areas 6, 11 and 13 were characterized by hamra soil that was often sandy and devoid of potsherds. Area 7 had citrus orchards and vegetation that was difficult to survey. Area 8 consisted of sandy hamra soil, covered with citrus orchards and lacking potsherds. Three sites (A–C) were documented in the survey. At Site A (map ref. NIG 18551/67058; OIG 13551/17058) a dense scattering of potsherds (diam. in excess of 10 m) that dated from the Roman until the Early Islamic periods was documented. At Site B (map ref. NIG 18575/67051; OIG 13575/17051), several roughly dressed kurkar masonry stones, scattered across a small area, were documented. At Site C (map ref. NIG 18567/67054; OIG 13567/17054) was a scant scattering of potsherds and fragments of sandstone were discerned in an area (diam. 3–5 m).
