"The Fort" is a rather large, almost square shaped building measuring some 60 x 55 metres. It consists a large interior courtyard, which might have been used as a place of refuge for the inhabitants, surrounded by a range of rooms from all sides. The fort was a multipurpose building, serving as a dwelling place, storage centre and metallurgical workshop. The fort was probably a centre of political power, as indicated by the presence of coin molds.
