Here are enduring marks of an ancient structure.
A coastal depot or magazine, as the primary sources may call it, a military storage site for arms. An ancient stockade, a waypoint for wild animals and slaves captured farther south in the interior of Africa, bound for the households and circuses of Rome and Byzantium.
Earth built up on the eastern side indicates the deep tracks of the main entrance. A lot of work happened here so there must have been a lot of traffic.
Something even more intriguing to the north near Bardiyah here!!
Be great to know what era these are from. Could be originally Egyptian being so close to the Egypt/Libya border. Could well have been a sporting arena as much as anything else. Within the Roman Empire in 500AD.
