The tell is located south of Al-Tah village along the road leading to Khan Sheikhoun. The tell is 500m long and 485m wide. Unlike other nearby hills, it has a modest elevation of about 20m. With the onset of the Syrian uprising and the state of anarchy that prevailed in the region, opportunists used heavy machinery for digging/looting and dredging activity on the site, leaving holes up to 12m deep, disturbing the soil layers. Tell Al-Tah (South) is registered as an archaeological site and protected by the Ma’arrat Al-Numan Department of Antiquities
