Khirbet Abu ad-Danin, Horvat Abu a-Danin or Kh. Abu ed-Dinein is an archaeological site located in the central West Bank, just south of Modi'in Illit. The site represents a rural Jewish village from the late Second Temple period, founded in the 2nd century BCE and reaching its peak during the late Hellenistic and early Roman periods. The settlement appears to have been abandoned shortly after the Bar Kokhba revolt (132–136 CE), with only limited reoccupation during the Late Roman or Byzantine periods.
