View from the plateau of the High Place of Sacrifice. The remains of the walls are part of the so-called citadel, but they are probably a propylaea, a representative gate at the entrance to the sanctuary.
On the far right of the photo the canyon of Wadi Farasa East, to which one can descend via the western stepped pathway - see the following image pages.
