Modern Description: This citadel, about 50 m. long, is surrounded by a wall in coursed masonry, and encloses some fainter wall traces and a small tower built of squared blocks with vertical drafting at the angles. Outside the NW corner of the citadel, curiously placed at the foot of the 8-m.-high fortification, stands the tower marked by Paton and Myres, which we noted as being detached from the upper circuit. It seems certain, as Paton and Myres surmised, that the short wall-stretches in rough polygonal down below towards the saddle on the north belong to an outer circuit.
