Kletter (2005:57–60) documented a tilted wall (W2) within an Early Islamic structure in Square E1 of Area A, located “within ‘Opher Park below newly constructed ‘Opher School in Ramla.” The wall was found to consist of two construction phases (II and I), both of which exhibit the same tilt. Kletter (2005:60) suggested that the inclination “may have been due to an earthquake,” while also emphasizing that “the true cause for this feature is unknown.”

The site proved difficult to date securely. Kletter (2005:95) observed that the settlement “seems to have been abandoned at the end of Phase I, although no traces of fire or violent destruction were detected.” The abandonment is placed “some time within the eleventh century CE,” as “no find can unequivocally be dated to a later period” ( Kletter 2005:95).
