| Description | The Level 11 settlement was established outside the buildings of Level 12, a little further westward. The most important architectural remnant of this Level is a 26 m long wall and 1,1 m thickness which was a part of a free-standing defence wall that surrounded the settlement. Semi-circular towers were added to the exterior of the wall and the main entrance was through a gate near the southeastern corner. Within the enclosed area where the settlement would have been expected no concrete information could be made. |
