[4] The temple contains two altars and a natural water spring that is thought to have held spiritual significance for the worshipers.

During the excavation of the site many tools, weapons, pottery and small pieces of gold were found which are now on display in the Bahrain National Museum.

Excavations, by a Danish team led by Hellmuth Andersen and Peder Mortensen, began that year and extended until 1962.

This was originally constructed on a bed of clean sand, which appears to have been consolidated by a layer of blue clay.

The central terrace was preserved in its full height, 2 metres, with the remains of trapezoid shrine in the center and adjoining rooms.

Temple II is most liveable still with retaining walls and terraces stiffs, first stage the oval terrace was built in local stone, but after an enlargement it was built in limestone which must have been carried by boat from nearby Jidda island where stone was hewn out by hand and carefully dressed into remarkably neat masonry blocks.

A double row of plinths for cult objects lined both sides of the stairs from the upper terrace.

Here may have stood copper mounted poles with the emblems of gods, so often seen on the stamp seals, or, perhaps, wooden statues.

From the comers of the shrine deep stone built channels led the water to the surrounding fields and gardens.

Two circular offering tables of finely cut stone with a low altar between them still stand in the middle of the courtyard.
