Since the Herodian Temple Mount was significantly smaller in every dimension than the current site, it is unlikely that walls on the edge of the modern Temple Mount, such as the Western Wall, were part of it. The [[Church of the Condemnation]], the traditional site of Antonia, is just north of the Temple Mount. That is to say, the location was selected without taking into account that Antonia was later incorporated into the Temple Mount.

The temple itself was 60 X 20 cubits in area and 40 cubits high. A cubit was 21.85 inches, so the building was 109 X 36 ft. (33 X 11 m).
