Quite at the other extremity of the town - in the
N.W. angle is a great collection of buildings
in complete ruins - One of these is a
massive structure 10m x 20 which presents
the curious feature of two steeply inclosed
walls, one at the side and one at the end so
that from its S.W. angle it looks like a
truncated pyramid. The other walls are
quite perpendicular - one side is pierced
by a diminuative doorway. The whole structure
is built of rough stones laid in courses without
mortar like the walls of the city.

Adjoining this building 15m. to the north
are the ruins of a circular structure - the
only portion in situ is a circular wall,
of large well finished stones, which is only
a foundation. On all sides of this lie
small columns, rich capitals, fine
ornamental details and some good bits of figure
sculpture - Some in relief some [in/on] the
[...] - These fragments show the building to
have been one of richness and beauty.
