According to Carroll, “Looking east towards view of the temple as it was being enlarged after 62AD.
The upright core is part of the mid-first century BC temple.
The still intact courses of large basalt blocks were laid into a construction trench surrounding the earliest building.
The scattered basalt blocks in the courtyard are remnants of building work”.
