Al-Walid I
The Israel Nature and Park Authority has erected a sign at the site which states that the protected monument was an early Islamic palace built by Al-Walid I or Al-Walid II. In 2012, the Institute for Prehistory and Early History of the University of Mainz, in cooperation with the "Deutscher Verein vom Heiligen Lande", presented a plan to the Israeli authorities. A guide was published and with financial support from the German Foreign Ministry, and the University is currently working with the Israel Nature and Parks Authority and the Israel Antiquities Authority to protect the masonry from further damage.
