The excavations at Al Rumailah revealed remains of a large spoil heap covering most of the existing part of the southwest end of the site. Heaps like these are usually formed as a result of lowering the ground level of the farms and the channels of the irrigation system used. Like a number of other Iron Age villages, a falaj may have supplied Rumailah with water.

The excavations also revealed a building belonging to Period 2 of the Iron Age represented at the site.
