A site on the Mediterranean coast of Israel with signs of habitation from the Middle Bronze Age and the Persian through the Roman periods. In the Hellenistic and Roman periods, its purpose was primarily military, and a series of forts occupied the site until around 50 CE. A small watchtower or lighthouse was built on the site in the eighth-ninth centuries CE, after which it was abandoned.
