Ceta was built on a number of terraces that rise up to the East. In 1842, Van der Vlis identied fourteen terraces, but the decay was such that when Hoepermans visited in the 1860s, he could see only eight. The terraces that currently remain are the higher terraces. When we visit the site, we are welcomed by a statue of a crouching man with a cudgel reminding us of a raksasa. From there we walk up three sets of steps before entering through the first split gate counting nine layers. The terrace now entered has a small structure on the left, and on the right is a platform that remains covered. A few steps take us to a next terrace, passing the remains of what would have been a full gate. This next terrace has a major relief on the ground, composed of a the body of a bat carrying a tortoise, a triangle with assorted fish and amphibians, and a phallus. Here we also see the Majapahit sundial, and statues on either side of the entrance to the next level. See pictures. Little remains of the gate leading to the next level. We see a small enclosure on the left with statues of tortoises, and two guards lead to a next terrace. This terrace is located higher, and is reached after a series of seven, and two series of six steps. On either side of the terrace are platforms. These are recent structures, of wood with straw roofs, and used for meditating. We pass a tortoise on the way to the next terrace, and the passageway is flanked by elephants. Krom reports the dating 1378Ç (=AD 1456) for this gate. One series of six, and two series of five steps take us to a substantial gate, again of the split variety, and we descend four steps to get to the next terrace with a symmetrical series of six structures in the shape of raised, roofed spaces with wooden walls. See pictures. . The two largest are open in front, while the smaller ones have doors and are locked: these presumably contain statues. A group of three sets of stairs, this time with eight and twice six steps take us to the penultimate level where we find a repetition of the group of six structures. Looking East, we now see a big wall, with stairs in the centre. See pictures. Mounting the stairs, and descending a smaller number of steps on the other side, we are now faced with the principal structure.  This lower pediment is like that of many temples, but no reliefs are visible on the side, and the temple body has no superstructure. This structure differs from the low platform with pointed stones on it, that was found by Van der Vlis and Hoepermans. These no longer remained at the end of the 19^th C, so that we won't know whether these were linga, other forms of decoration, or merely construction stones.
