The settlement was built on top of a large rock, it had only one access via a zigzag path. It is located in a strategic location and had a main street with housing on the sides. The wall at the bottom of the houses formed the wall that surrounded them. These dwellings were single-storey, the walls were raised directly on the parent rock by the farmers themselves, with medium-sized stones. And at most they had three rooms.

It is currently in a poor state but taking a look around it you can see some elements.
