Tmbadir Fortress

Tmbadir Fortress occupies a hill about twenty metres high northwest of Achajur. A cyclopean wall built from massive stones surrounds it. Excavations exposed rooms and cellars within the enclosure.

Finds dated to the sixth and fifth centuries BCE include pottery, casting moulds and a stone bull. Grain pits preserve evidence of how food was stored, while the moulds document craft activity within the settlement.
