Kefr Kermîn

It is a little over 20ft wide (21.4 -20.8)
and is raised to various heights,from two
to four feet, above the surface according
to the unevenness of the levels. It seems
to have been laid directly upon natural
surface rock and is built of large
squared blocks of varying sizes. The
sides being laid up in heavy quadrated
style which forms an even border to the
irregular sizes of the pavement. There are
distinct traces of shallow transverse grooves
cut in the surface of the pavement to
insure a secure footing.

After the road crosses the hill it
disappears again on the plain ^ of Dâna ^ but one guide
told us that a similar section, somewhat
smaller was to be seen in the hills to
the northwest, this is doubtless a portion of
the same road (see p.33). The road crosses the
south side of the circular chain of hills called
the Djebel Ḥaluḳa (ring mountain) within which
is the great plain of Dâna.
