*Somewhat later, toward the end of LHIIIB around 1200 BC, another, final extension to the citadel was undertaken.[23] The wall was extended again on the northeast, with a sally port and also a secret passage through and under the wall, of corbeled construction, leading downward by some 99 steps to a cistern carved out of rock 15 m below the surface. It was fed by a tunnel from a spring on more distant higher ground.*
