مقام الشيخ احمد المسيد في خربة صوفيا- عجور Maqam Sheikh Ahmad el-Misyad مقام الشيخ أحمد المسيد One kilometer away from moshav Agur* if you drive along the 353-th Highway towards Luzit* on the left side of the road there is a tomb of Sheikh Ahmad el-Misyad not visible through the trees. In his time V. Guérin called this building: "oualy dédié à Neby Mesied" (Judee II* 104)* thinking that it was dedicated to a prophet. That Sheikh Ahmad el-Misyad is buried here we learned from studying British maps of Palestine. In Arabic this place is called (خربة صوفيا). Khirbet Sufiya The structure is quite small* dimensions being 6.4 x 6.1 x 3.1 m. The entrance is on the west side* the east wall has a wide arch. This maqam this has a number of specific features. The burial chamber is located under the floor* there is a separate entrance (more like a manhole) to it outside the tomb. There is a lintel on this manhole* where remained an Arabic inscription. Of all the maqams that we have examined this was the only one with such an underground burial chamber. It might have been a pit or a small cave where the saint had been buried. Another feature is that to the right of the entrance to the tomb there is a stone ring attached to the western wall. المسيد : في التراث الاسلامي الريفي مقام لولي توسع بوظيفته ليصبح مصلى ريفي للمزارعين اثناء عملهم و مركز اجتماعي تقام فيه بعض المناسبات الاجتماعية كالعزاء و استراحة يتناولون فيها طعامهم لا تقام فيه الجمعة * لا زالت وظيفة المسيد حية في بعض ارياف وادي النيل. ملاحظة: الاختلاف بين الصورة الظلية الماخوذة من طائرة (من الجو) و الخارطة المرسومة في الصورة الاخيرة (تقسيم عجور العمراني) راجع للامتداد العمراني و لاختلاف درجة زاوية الاسقاط بين المصور(او الناظر) و الموقع.
