The park covers an expansive area of 50,000 dunams and includes major sites such as Adullam, Horvat 'Ethri, Ḥurvat Burjin, and Ḥurvat Madras, which offer insights into historical settlements and activities in the region. Notable archaeological features include remnants of ancient villages, ossuaries, olive presses, and milestones, reflecting the life and culture during the Late Classical Period.
