Khirbet Qeiyafa (Elah Fortress) is the site of an ancient city overlooking the Elah Valley. The ruins of the fortress were uncovered in 2007, near the Israeli city of Beit Shemesh, 20 miles (32 km) from Jerusalem. It covers nearly 6 acres (2.4 ha) and is encircled by a 700 metres (2,300 ft) long city wall constructed of stones weighing up to eight tons each. Archaeologists suggest that it may have been the biblical city of Sha'arayim or Neta'im.
