Al-Mutrab, Roman archaeological site in Ma'an, Jordan.
The site features a square enclosure measuring 46.5 by 47 meters, constructed from limestone blocks at an elevation of 1,055 meters above sea level.
The Roman defensive structure, documented in 1897 by Alfred von Domaszewski and Rudolf Ernst Brünnow, formed part of the eastern frontier fortifications system.
Archaeological investigations at El-Mutrab revealed evidence of different occupation periods through ceramic finds, contributing to understanding regional settlement patterns.
The structure received water through an aqueduct system extending 21 kilometers from Basta, supporting both the settlement and surrounding agricultural areas.
Located at the intersection of Wadi Ma'an and Wadi al-Mahatta, the site provided extensive surveillance capabilities over the surrounding desert landscape.
