Of these, the first we come to is room B, of an irregular rectangular shape (length 3.70 metres, width 1.65-1.80 metres) which is smaller than the others (fig. 2).

Inside, a few small pottery fragments were found.

The water used during the rituals inside the temples flowed outside via a rectangular opening in the right hand side of the room (fig. 3) and flowed into a canal edged with stone slabs covered by flat stones.
