An ancient Roman hell. It was used by the Romans for surveillance and early warnings. Now, there is an unused recently-built water reservoir on top of it. It was used as a cemetry by the locals, until it became full. In the past, Elderly used to gather on the top of the hell, which had a scenery upon Palestine, where one could see Palestinain villages from the top of the hill. Anyway, due to urbanization, this scene is not possible anymore.

Additionally, some decades ago, there were seveal caves all around the hill base. And it is said, that some people went inside one of them until they heart the roar of water.
