Plan: The sanctuary is located 1.8 km S of Dēr er-Riyāshi (MEGA Jordan 9370 and 40840) and 4.4 km W of Dēr er-Riyāshi. This is the “pavilion” that Wimmer mentions (Strobel - Wimmer 2003, 98-99, footnote 8). It also seems to be the site which Atiat (2005a: 46-48; 2005b: 163) called “al-Riyāshi South.”
