Barrington Atlas: BAtlas 80 C2 Qasr el-Banat
A ruined fort near a rock called the "Castle of the Maidens" in the Eastern Desert. The fort itself is roughly 40 × 33 metres with a rectangular trace, a single gate in the north wall, and a row of small rooms along all four walls. Nearby inscriptions are dated to Augustus and Hadrian but the only inscription in the fort itself is fragmentary. The Barrington Atlas Directory notes: Qasr el-Banat.
