Annotations

Two antae temples aligned east. There appear to be the remains of a substantial settlement to the N.E. Nothing known of this. Taylor1 offers useful photographs and the following road directions: 

From Yanta going towards Bekka "after about two kilometres, take the left road (the right goes to Beka); after one kilometre, take the track on the right which heads towards Jebel Bayada. The temple ruins are on the right, two hundred yards above the trak, some three kilometres from the tarmac road."

Taylor's track appears to have been tarmacked at some point.
