Sassanian (?) and medieval Islamic settlement (5 ha). Visible rectangular central tell (70x100m), previously surrounded by an eastern sharistan and smaller mounds, destroyed between 2002 and 2011. Medieval Emāmzādeh Šāh-ʿAbbās built on top of the main mound. Possible identification with the medieval town of Hir (Kitab al-masalik wa-I-mamalik of Eṣṭakhrī) / Habs (Fārsnāma of Ibn al-Balkhi), described as one the stage of the main road between Shiraz and Arrajan.
