This one is quite off kilter, but the thatched roof of The Watchman's Hut is at the right edge.

In the middle is the Main Temple's plaza. The Main, or Principal, Temple faces us. To its left and our right is The Temple of the Three Windows. (There are only 3 sides to most of these buildings now, for whatever reason.)
