Both of the sanctuaries have northern walls that were carved out of solid bedrock. The western temple has an area at the back in place of an Adyton that was also hewn out of the rock escarpment.^[3] Kevin Butcher suggested that this design was employed to bring the temples "closer to the gods".^[4]
