The large ruin, on the southwest of the town,
of nondescript plan, covers a large space.
These may have been a number of buildings
about a court, the largest is that of the
north - a large two storied building with
a vaulted passage at the side. Above
the vault is a second story with a row of
round topped windows. On the south
is a long building with an open 2 storied
colonnade roofed with large slabs of stone.
This colonnade is on the south side, without
the courtyard. Adjoining this building
to the east is a small structure like a
chapel- ornamented with doorway to the
west and a vaulted passage along the
south wall. The upper story has a
row of round topped windows, ^ two windows ^
to the west, over the portal and the one
opposite, in the eastern wall, are divided
by a pilaster faced with ^ an ^ engaged colonnette
on the outer and inner side. The colonnettes
representing sub-corinthian and sub-Ionic orders
