We visited a number of ancient sites to the south and south east of Ḥâṣṣ but found them all completely ruined having long been used as quarries for the town of Maʿarrit en Noricʿên.
At Maʿarit Bêṭar are fragments of a small tomb or aediculae with pieces of an insc. which seems to have been carried around the building upon the architrave moulding. The plan seems to have been distyle in antis with simple roman doric columns. The roof was formed of huge slabs of stone flat on the under side and cut to form a ridge above. The gable stone is well preserved. It measures 3m. 30 by 1m 50, it is 57cm thick at the gable where two mouldings are represented and a rayed disc in the centre. At the ends arcosolia are represented like the homes of the sarcophagi of the region.
