Anthropologists (like Yasmine) have predicted that the temples found at this site were previously used by a cult during the Greco-Roman period, though only limited work has been done on the site. The Roman settlement was eventually completely abandoned after the Arab conquest of the region. Much of the area and its buildings were destroyed during the Lebanese Civil War. The site stretches across land near the Bekaa Valley for a total of 550 meters at an altitude of 1350 meters. The site is noteworthy for the numerous tombs scattered around the area.
